In general those two lists should be identical, except in unusual
cases...  And the list is used in multiple places where the context of
send vs. receive each might be relevant.  E-mail addresses are always
at least capable of being bi-directional inherently, even if you
happen not to use them that way, so I'm not sure why that distinction
should be relevant/meaningful.
