If X-TMDA-Recipient contains the wrong address it is because your MTA
provided TMDA with the wrong address.  The only way TMDA knows who a
message is really for is by examining the RECIPIENT environment
variable set by your MTA (unless you are using Sendmail, in which case
it's a little more complicated. I don't think you're using Sendmail,
though...).

TMDA *does* always attempt to deliver the mail.  TMDA attempts to
deliver the message to the address to which the message was originally
sent.  If a particular configuration of your MTA has caused it to
claim that the recipient is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" when,
in fact, that is not the case, then you need to fix your MTA's
configuration.  TMDA is acting on the only information it has and it
has, essentially, been lied to!
