Listing multiple addresses separated by commas feels like a sendmailism to
me.  I'm surprised that doesn't break with lots of other MTAs.  The
general interface is addresses separated by spaces, which is also the
documented sendmail command-line interface.  (The sendmail man page
represents the syntax as "[ address ... ]".)

I think this was just a bug in popularity-contest that happened to go
unnoticed since sendmail runs command-line arguments through the same
parser that it applies to To: headers.
