Not necessarily!

I just had to build a weird setup where 2 hosts are the final destination
of the same domain. The real destination is determined via aliases (
user: userhost1
user2: userhost2)

Please don't tell me this is a bad idea... it's not mine :)
Anyway: I had to disable the delivered-to header for forwarding. Otherwise
it would detect a loop where none is.

Bye
