I'm not sure if this is a particularly useful approach... I have mails delivered by two different MTAs, and none of them carry a "Delivered-To" header...
On MTAs that do add the header, it is also often not the same as the address that is exposed to the outside world. For example, since memoryhole.net is a virtual domain on my server, my mails all have Delivered-To: memoryhole.net-kyle-mutt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, even though that's definitely not my email address.
