Hello Jonathan,
thanks for your explanations. What I meant is the following. When sendmail
gets an email for you, it just puts the data it receives from the sender in
your mail queue. The problem is that some senders don't put a "To:" line
into the data, and when using mailing lists, you also see "To:
mailinglistname@xxxxxxxxxx".
If you pop your mail form the pop3 server, you have no information to what
address it was sent. I have heard of the X-POP-3-Rcpt which sendmail adds to
the mail data before storing. It puts the value of the command "RCPT TO"
defined by the SMTP protocol into the X-POP-3-Rcpt field so you can
determine later what address the mail was sent to.
Perhaps my question is now a bit more clearer.
