I have found the answer to this is, PEBKAC (Problem Exists Between
Keyboard And Chair.)  I had a user that was doing several different
things at the same time, not paying attention and adding people to the
BCC: field.  I did a full investigation after an embarrassing personal
email went to about 20 people it shouldn't have and they insisted that
it was the email server screwing up.  The logs showed that they had
indeed sent the email to all the people, and the original message in the
sent folder had the BCC: field with the erroneous names.  They now pay
attention to what they are doing and the errors have stopped.  The SMTP
server has no way of randomly making up names to send to; those names
come from the client.  

Your problem may be different, but you can't ignore the human factor.

I am running I-mail 7.13.  Occasionally an email from one person and
addressed to one recipient is copied to many.  There seems to be no
rhyme or reason.  Here is the header from one such email from Fr. Justin
to Mrs. Zizzo.  This email was also received my myself (Dr. Turner), Mr.
Herdlein and Mr. Hunter.  Thanks for any help.
