Thanks for the reply aDe. I hadn't looked on that as saying it was
forbidden to pass on the envelope information (by my reading of RFC 822 the
envelope is not a header it defines.) I suppose though that the absolute
prohibition on the use of RCPT
TO:<@domain1.com,@domain2.com:user@domain3.com> makes it useless
information anyhow.
