This field helps distinguish between messages actually sent by the local user vs messages received on a secondary phone number registered with the same Apple ID. When is_from_me is true but destination_caller_id differs from the user's own numbers, the message was actually received from another device/person messaging that secondary number. This enables tools like Clawdbot to properly detect inbound messages on secondary iMessage phone numbers.

When the Mac has multiple iMessage numbers (e.g., dual-SIM setup), messages
to ALL numbers are received. This adds a myNumbers config option that filters
messages by destination_caller_id, so the bot only responds to messages sent
to the configured number(s).
Config example:
{
channels: {
imessage: {
myNumbers: ["+16466128299"]
}
}
}
Requires imsg to expose destination_caller_id (see steipete/imsg#29).

Summary
Exposes the
destination_caller_idfield in message output. This field indicates which phone number/Apple ID received the message, which is essential for multi-SIM setups where a single Mac receives messages for multiple numbers.Use Case
When a Mac is linked to an iPhone with dual-SIM (or multiple Apple IDs), all messages arrive in the same Messages database. Without
destination_caller_id, there's no way to know which number/account a message was sent to.Example: User has personal number (+1555-111-1111) and a second number (+1555-222-2222). An automation tool needs to only respond to messages sent to the second number.
Changes
src/messages/mod.rs: Addeddestination_caller_idfield toMessagestructdestination_caller_idfrom themessagetableOutput Example
{ "id": 12345, "sender": "+15551234567", "destination_caller_id": "+15559876543", "text": "Hello!", ... }Testing
Tested with dual-SIM setup. Messages correctly show the destination number they were sent to.
