I am, as mentioned in an earlier posting, writing
an SMTP server for our Xerox Dandelions.  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.)
