Not really. "undisclosed.recipients" is inserted by some mail servers when
the To header had been left empty. Yes, this is possible.

When talking directly to a mail server (aka MTA, mail transport agent) a
sending server or application (aka MUA, mail user agent) submits a
message's recipients separately from what we normal users see in the To or
CC headers. This is part of what is commonly referred to as a message
envelope. This is used for example when somebody sends a message to
somebody via the BCC header. So if now the receiving server relays the
message it puts in a To line (if there wasn't one before) with
"undisclosed.recipients".

Markus
