Is it possible to add this where delivery method is lmtp? I have one person
requesting it, and am not finding anything particularly useful on the subject
...
Mainly, what they are looking at is where UserA is aliased to UserB, but they
want to know that the original was sent to UserA for 'sub-filtering' purposes

I'm using Postfix in front of cyrus imapd .. and v2.3.x of Cyrus IMAPd ...
If a message has been delivered to B because A is in the To: or Cc: then you
don't need any extra header lines because you can see it in the To: and Cc:.
a message is delivery solely by what is in the envelope. The headers
are irrelevant to mail routing.
If the message was delivered to multiple recipients because of Bcc: or because
of a list (Postfix can't tell the difference) then you are snookered as far as
I can see.
of course postfix can tell the difference. It has the envelope
information. If it did not have the envelope data it could not
deliver the message anywhere.
You would need to get Postfix to put a list of all the envelope
recipients in the new header line and that would break the Bcc: privacy, so you
should refuse to do it.
the trick would be to add a different envelope recipient
header for each recipient.
This of course also breaks any single instance delivery
scheme as the message would have to be duplicated for each
recipient.
The postfix local delivery agent does this in certain cases:
In the case of UNIX-style mailbox delivery, the local(8) daemon
prepends a "From sender time_stamp" envelope header to each message,
prepends an X-Original-To: header with the recipient address as given
to Postfix, prepends an optional Delivered-To: header with the final
envelope recipient address, prepends a Return-Path: header with the
envelope sender address, prepends a > character to lines beginning with
"From ", and appends an empty line. The mailbox is locked for exclu-
sive access while delivery is in progress. In case of problems, an
attempt is made to truncate the mailbox to its original length.
In the case of maildir delivery, the local daemon prepends an optional
Delivered-To: header with the final envelope recipient address,
prepends an X-Original-To: header with the recipient address as given
to Postfix, and prepends a Return-Path: header with the envelope sender
address.
I am sure some users would like something like this for cyrus but I
can also see the reluctance to implementing this because of breaking
single instance delivery.
This would have to be an optional feature.
