There is no guarantee that the 'Received' headers contain that information, 
or the right information.  There are THREE different 'for' addresses in 
the 'Received' headers of the post I'm responding to, and I've seen other 
e-mail arrive here with NO 'for' address in the 'Received' headers.  (Is 
there a standard for this header?  If so, it is apparently ignored by some 
MTA's, but unfortunately that shouldn't strike any of us as unusual.)
