Re: [ietf-smtp] New Version Notification for draft-crocker-email-deliveredto-00.txt

Is there any functional or semantic difference between an MDA adding Delivered-To: and an MDA adding a Received: with a 'for' clause containing the same address? Is it somehow conveying the semantic difference between an MTA and an MDA?

That's it. If there are address rewrites between the RCPT TO and the final delivery, it uses the rewritten address.

This is what qmail does.  I think Postfix does the same thing, can check.

Also, does adding the Return-Path: happen before or after adding the Delivered-To:? The spec seems to indicate before, but it doesn't mention Return-Path: at all.

In practice they're added at the same time.
