Not all Received: lines actually include information about the address
that the message is "to". As such, even though (3) is probably correct,
one needs to limit the search to avoid going back far enough to the
point at which the mailing list host received the message addressed to
the list. How to implement that is probably undefined. A simple
implementation might look at solely the very first Received: header, but
I could conceive a site with internal mail routing where you might need
to look back N hops, where N is as far back as the site-level
Internet-visible MX system.
