Well, have you checked your mail log that the _envelope_ recipient
doesn't differ from the things in the headers?
It is very common for these to differ, and it is just the envelope
ones that matter... These are the ones used during the (E)SMTP
conversation (the "RCPT TO: <add at re.ss>" thingies).
It is quite "normal" for spam, viruses and even normal mails to be
forged in this way.

Or had you already looked at this...?

If you run MailWatch, that will log the mails with the envelope
sender/recipients....;)
