in the sense i'm using it, a multidrop account is something which is
the final destination for several mail addresses, but it does not
neccessarily have any information on to whom the original mail was
addressed (as opposed to a groupmail account, which indeed does have).

so far, noone objected against this "definition" (i'd actually like to
hear other points on this...)

this is unreliable (just think mailing lists, if nothing else). in my
practice, i usually put in an extra delivered-to header (or just use
exim to envelope_to_add).
