Tracking what email addresses my SMTP server has sent to

Question

Do SMTP servers track the email addresses they've sent to? If so, how do I get the list?

I've got a Facebook app that sends confirmation emails whenever a user successfully registers and adds that user to the database.

The table got accidentally emptied and I'd like to recover who the app has sent the confirmation emails to.

This is why one does backup copies of the database :-) – Paŭlo Ebermann Oct 19 '11 at 15:42 — Paŭlo Ebermann, Oct 19 '11 at 15:42

Most MTAs have a log file which includes this information, but it is typically not saved for more than a few weeks or months. On Linux look in /var/log, on other systems read the MTA's documentation, or add information to your question.
