I usually just read the "rfc" headers that we so often ignore in internet mail msgs, when I want to trace the mail. Will that help you ? /Eric | |||||

As Eric, suggests, the "Received" headers tell you which path the mail
took, which can change from one message to another, depending on host
availability.
If you're looking for something that you can initiate to find out what
path a message takes from a remote site to you, you can try something
like the following:
me%[email protected]
This _should_ travel first to "their.company.com" and then back to
"my.site.dec.com", similar to the DECnet address "THEIRS::MINE::me".
The received headers should show the paths in both directions.
