Generally speaking, these fields tell you the account

User: hostuser
Domain: domainuser.it

These indicate the message was sent via webmail

Hello :)

Yes, the user/domain field will typically indicate which account was used to send the message. You can also search for the recipient address in the Exim log file. EX:

Code:
exigrep [email protected] /var/log/exim_mainlog
Thank you.
