No it didn't - it originated at 88.19.76.182 by the looks of it.

You can't believe the To: header in an email - it means more or
less nothing. The important thing is the SMTP envelope recipient
details. In this case, that was:

  vote-owner at openstreetmap.org
  tilesathome at openstreetmap.org
  tilesathome-owner at openstreetmap.org
  talk at openstreetmap.org
  talk-za at openstreetmap.org
  treasurer at openstreetmap.org

I assume one of those (vote-owner?) goes to you.
