Good question, with all email servers, the message headers are NOT
read or used in any way to determine normal delivery, the sending
email client gives a list of recipients in the smtp protocol/envelope
before the message body is sent.
Some email client software will do what you suggest (command line
utilities typically) but it is almost never done at the server level.
Most likely they should look for a command line switch to make their
script use the headers.
