draft-klensin-rfc2821bis-01.txt: 

   Time-stamp-line  = "Received:" FWS Stamp <CRLF>


   Stamp          = From-domain By-domain Opt-info [CFWS] ";" FWS
                  date-time

   Opt-info       = [Via] [With] [ID] [For]


   For            = CFWS "FOR" 1*( FWS Path / Mailbox ))


I think that this allows several addresses.

RFC 2822 do not have provisions for several addresses:



received        =       "Received:" name-val-list ";" date-time CRLF

name-val-list   =       [CFWS] [name-val-pair *(CFWS name-val-pair)]

name-val-pair   =       item-name CFWS item-value

item-name       =       ALPHA *(["-"] (ALPHA / DIGIT))

item-value      =       1*angle-addr / addr-spec /
                         atom / domain / msg-id


( Is there update of RFC 2822 going? )
