Ah, so it's incoming mail that gets clobbered here. Hmmm. Unfortunately
I'm not the sysadmin here, or I'd put exim on the gateway :-)

OK, I see. I can confirm that the sendmail 8.8.8 here on NetBSD also
does not remove addr1 in such a situation. Neither does sendmail 8.6.10
on solaris 2.5.1 x86 either, BTW.

The manpage on NetBSD states:

     -t          Read message for recipients.  To:, Cc:, and Bcc: lines will
                 be scanned for recipient addresses.  The Bcc: line will be
                 deleted before transmission.  Any addresses in the argument
                 list will be suppressed, that is, they will not receive
                 copies even if listed in the message header.


There seems to be a bug somewhere...
