We have a NetBSD 1.3 box here ("leobsd"), with sendmail 8.8.8.
I did this:

$ sendmail -t paul@???
To: paul@???
Subject: test

bla
.


Both paul@wau and paul@murphy got a copy. This is the header as received
at the wau.mis.ah.nl address:

The roundabout routing for the wau.mis.ah.nl address is because leobsd
has ahns.mis.ah.nl as smarthost, and waubel.wau.mis.ah.nl is the MX host
for the wau.mis.ah.nl as far as ahns is concerned (don't ask).
*.mis.ah.nl is behind a firewall.

I'm not sure exactly how to interpret sendmail's behaviour, but in short
both addresses receive mail.
