Yes, I believe it is described in the Wiki. If not, please can someone 
(Steve S perhaps?) add it as quite a few of you know the answer to this.

It happens as MailScanner does not split up messages so one recipient 
gets one response and a different recipient gets another. This 
restriction rarely causes a problem and enables MailScanner to go a lot 
faster. It's a design decision I made a long time ago, and it rarely 
cause a problem that cannot be easily worked around, such as your case 
(look up "queue groups" in sendmail).
