It appears that Michael Peddemors <[email protected]> said: >IF the MTA 'chooses' to use that header for loop detection, that is only >because it's own design trusts that header.. eg, internal looping.. but >that is a separate utilization of the Delivered-To header.. not it's >primary purpose IMHO, which is that of a trace header. As far as I know, every MTA that adds a Delivered-To: header records an internal version of the address and uses it for loop detection. If you know of MTAs that add the header but don't use it for loop detection, I'd be interested to hear about it. I know of MTAs such as Exim that add a different header with an envelope address, but not Delivered-To. R's, John
