how exactly ?

it's *exim* who adds the *final* envelope-to: based on the smtp rcpt
to: or something. this definitely has *nothing* to do with the
in-message headers. then, fetchmail decides on the *envelope-to*
header, which in turn is added by a trusted exim.

the only way to turn this into an open relay is by having an
open-relay exim at the first place.

no freaking way i'm ever going to route messages based on headers i'm
not in full control of.
