For -clause on Received: allows some syntax which is not allowed
on RFC 2822:

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

Compare to RFC 2822:

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


( that may also considered to be bug of RFC 2822 )


Is multiple mailboxes ever used on "for" -clause ?
Syntax for it is quite inconsistent between standards.
