You could try enabling OE's logging (under Maintenance options). I don't
have one to look at right now but maybe it will show the commands OE sends
to the SMTP server. One of the commands during a mail session is the RCPT
command which specifies to whom the message is to get delivered. If OE's
log shows the SMTP commands then you can check the RCPT command(s) to see to
whom her OE is telling her SMTP mail server to send her messages.
