OK. The interface between the MTA and the MDA is - as far as I know -
not defined in any RFC. Please correct me, if I am wrong. Therefore we
CANNOT know how EVERY MTA will be passing us the envelope information.
It can be some environment variables, added headers, written to
inhireted open file descriptors, as X Window Events, whatever...

If you know a way to make sure that we - inspite of having NO RFC - can
make sure that we get that info from any current or future MTA... Please
send us the patch ;-)
