Spam-tracing help by nix2003-02-13 11:04:14
  It was addressed in the SMTP conversation by fuerth 2003-02-13 11:56:18
The To: header doesn't actually do much to sendmail's mail delivery decisions.

The real destination address gets specified in the RCPT to:<what@ever.org>. If you specify a local mailbox in an RCPT line, you can put anything you like in the To: header of the email body (or even omit it completely).
