Hmm. These are typically added:

Delivered-To: user at domain.org
Received: from gate.domain.org (gate.domain.org [1.2.3.4])
        by mail.domain.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6AE653793
        for <user at domain.org>; Mon,  3 Nov 2009 15:46:48 +0200 (EET)

Is the user at domain.org information actually useful? I'm now wondering if
I just shouldn't add support for it. At least initially.. So then if
mail is sent to multiple recipients, it could just be hard linked for
each recipient. So LMTP server would add just:

Received: from gate.domain.org ([1.2.3.4])
        by mail.domain.org (Dovecot) with LMTP id 6AE653793;
        Mon,  3 Nov 2009 15:46:48 +0200 (EET)

(I also dropped reverse DNS lookup.)
