So literally*last century* 40% of the mail I kept around arrived with a
Delivered-To: tag. None were local deliveries in my mailbox, and the vast
majority were various mailing lists (9,759 were various SecurityFocus
lists,
2,306 from the NANOG list, and 1,629 from a total of 54 different sources
from literally every continent.
That's nice. However it does nothing to tell us what was IN those header
fields. That's the issue that is being contested.
Glad to hear we agree that the sensible approach is to research and
document the existing practice.
It's still fairly hard, though. I expect that all of those headers
contain something that looks like a mailbox, but there's no
straightforward way to tell from outside whether it is a loop breaking
token or an actual mailbox.
