It is spam mail in most of the cases but even when it is spam looking at the
headers there is no BCC or CC field at all. The only problem is that the MIME
address is different than the SMTP one.
I currently have 4 Exchange Servers in the Organization and only one SMTP
connector from the Master Server to a SMTP server in a DMZ zone. I should add
that 2 of them were recently added to the original Exchange 2000 organization
to reorganize and split the "mailbox" load. Yes I have some "very large"
mailboxes too.
