Not knowing any better, the delivery agent then treats it as it would any other mail it is fully responsible for. The collector was probably just never tested with mails with more than one address in the To: header. This kind of blunder is just mortifying. Programmers/teams without adequate expertise and QA writing networking software intended to run on the open internet should be taken out the back and shot.
