Finding the original target of internet email

Is it possible through logs, property fields, or debugging to determine the original target (from the receiving server's point of view) of an incoming mail from the internet?

For example, a mass email comes in from some big vendor's SMTP server. They send it to a domino group's internet address (which has several aliases), as a BCC. The receiving domino SMTP server receives the email and the router delivers it to the proper mailboxes. How can the administrator of the receiving domino server determine which alias of that domino group was used by the sending SMTP server with the receiving server?

Find Origin of SMTP Message
Hi Ben you would set the following parameters on your incoming SMTP Server and when a mass email is received you would review the Console log and trace back where the expansion took place:

SET CONFIG
CONSOLE_LOG_ENABLED=1                        
SET CONFIG
DEBUG_THREADID=1
SET CONFIG
Log_MailRouting=40
SET CONFIG
DebugRouter=3
SET CONFIG
DebugRouterLookup=3
SET CONFIG
SMTPDEBUGIO=3


TO Turn off:


SET CONFIG
CONSOLE_LOG_ENABLED=1                    <-- Default value                    
SET CONFIG
DEBUG_THREADID=1                            <-- Default value
SET CONFIG
Log_MailRouting=20                            <-- Default value
SET CONFIG DebugRouter=0
SET CONFIG
DebugRouterLookup=0
SET CONFIG
SMTPDEBUGIO=0
