Many people helped me with my initial query and I hope someone can clarify one specific point. When I receive a message, the SMTP envelope has a RCPT TO:line. In addition, the letter has a header field To: mailbox. Do I need to look at both? Should I ignore the lines in the letter's 822 header when delivering the letter? (This would be easier than trying to parse the whole thing.)
