You're confusing envelope recipients with header recipients. The "CC"
header has (almost) nothing to do with how a message is routed. In
particular, if the headers look like this:
To: user@???, user@???, ..., user@???
and you operate only domain123.com, then the message will have precisely
one recipient when your MTA sees it. ("To" vs "Cc" makes no difference
in this context. Or in any other context, except for a human reading
the message.)
Anyways, you'd be much better off doing this sort of test in an ACL. If
you're not running Exim 4 yet, time to upgrade.
