Here is the first header that the e4ward server writes in forwarded
email. There is no indication of the destination address as sent to
by a potential spammer. Some spammers manage to spam without having
to put an email address in the "To:" field.

So, the great idea (and it is a really great idea) of creating custom
aliases so it can be told at a glance who sold your email address
falls apart if the spammer is smart enough to use BCC.

Can you please add a "for ..." to that header? It should be a real
simple fix and would really exploit the power of the aliases to the
fullest.

That is an excellent suggestion which we'll look at.In the meantime,
you can see the alias in the header 'X-e4ward-alias' (and the REA in
X-e4ward-forwarding-address).
