Basically, it depends on your ISP.  If they've provided a header with
this information (often something like Envelope-to or Delivered-to)
then you can (and as Matthias said the details are in the man page).
If you're not sure, provide a sample header for an email and I'll let
you know.

If however they haven't, your out of luck.
