It appears that Michael Peddemors  <michael(_at_)linuxmagic(_dot_)com> said:
IF the MTA 'chooses' to use that header for loop detection, that is only 
because it's own design trusts that header.. eg, internal looping.. but 
that is a separate utilization of the Delivered-To header.. not it's 
primary purpose IMHO, which is that of a trace header.

As far as I know, every MTA that adds a Delivered-To: header records an internal
version of the address and uses it for loop detection.

If you know of MTAs that add the header but don't use it for loop detection, 
I'd be interested
to hear about it.

I know of MTAs such as Exim that add a different header with an envelope 
address, but not Delivered-To.
