Not easily or reliably.

What you need to do is create a DISTRUBUTE MAIL DEBUG=YES job (along with
a current REVIEW output) and send it to the hosting LISTSERV site.  It
may (or may not) then give you the info requested (depending upon site
policy).

Different userids at the same host could be routed differently: it
depends upon HOW MANY (OK, not absolutely, but whether if only one,
otherwise greater than one) userids are going to receive a particular
posting, depending upon their individual SET options!!

And just when you think you understand the routing, it is entirely
possibly that mailto userid@node could be MXed to a 1/2 dozen different
sites, each with their own policies on forwarding.
