I'm not sure; if the mail has been forwarded at some point then I think
some of the earlier received headers will show the original intended
recipient then after the rewrite the later intended recipient.
A mail like ones on this list have "Received: ... for" values that (not
surprisingly) describe the list itself in the earlier headers and
individual recipients later (ie in headers nearer the top of the mail)
on.
Also, from a filtering pov, there's the problem that the "for" might
not be on the same line as the recipient address; "received:" headers
get spread across multiple lines.
