It uses the envelope recipient, which is not in the headers of
the message itself, it's the RCPT TO line in the SMTP conversation.

In this case your smtp client told smtp.uklinux.net to deliver the
message to kphilp at gofree.indigo.ie.

If it doesn't make it through to indigo, then it isn't being
relayed by smtp.uklinux.net, for any number of reasons.

Can you normally send through this server to that indigo account?
Do you get bounces?
