What sort of "delivery reports" are we talking about here? If they are the
ones generated by Exim after failure of a director (or falling off the end
of the list), they surely ought to be to the envelope sender (SMTP "MAIL FROM"),
not to any of the header fields? A report generated by an explicit "autoreply"
transport might do something else, of course.
