add lbdb to your system and utilize it for snarfing addresses:
Description :
The Little Brother's Database (lbdb) consists of a set of small tools
that collect mail addresses from several sources and offer these
addresses to the external query feature of the Mutt mail reader.
To use the fetch address feature, put the following lines in your
.procmailrc:
:0hc | lbdb-fetchaddr
To use the database in mutt, put the following line into your .muttrc:
set query_command="lbdbq %s"
excerpt from man page:
DESCRIPTION
lbdbq is the client program for the little brother's
database. It will attempt to invoke various modules to gather
information about persons matching something.
E.g., it may look at a list of addresses from which you have
received mail, it may look at YP maps, or it may try to finger
some‐ thing@<various hosts>.
The behavior is configurable: Upon startup, lbdbq will source
the shell scripts:
/etc/lbdb.rc
$HOME/.lbdbrc
$HOME/.lbdb/lbdbrc
$HOME/.lbdb/rc
if they exist.

set query_command="lbdbq '%s'" # calling lbdbq
macro alias Q "!lbdbq ." "lbdb query"
