On MTAs that do add the header, it is also often not the same as the=20
address that is exposed to the outside world. For example, since=20
memoryhole.net is a virtual domain on my server, my mails all have=20
Delivered-To: memoryhole.net-kyle-mutt-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, even though=20
that's definitely not my email address.
