Several. But I think you want to first look at the 'envelope' (to/from)
as well, not just the 'visible' header lines.
- MOST lists munge (at least) From: and Reply to: headers as well as
envelope-sender, etc. for several reasons good, bad, and indifferent.
Among these are redirecting a knee-jerk reply to an appropriate place, and
insuring the list-admin (human, daemon, or both), not the entire list, get
bounces returned so they can handle departees, dead address, server refusals,
vacation, etc.
What you may wish to do is deliberately create a 'freeze' of an incoming, then
go and manually inspect it in Exim's queue, where there may be more information
than is necessarily onpassed to and visible in your MUA.
