Your scanning setup is broken - either you are pushing multiple
recipients down a pipe and only passing one address, or its
(mis)reading the addresses from the headers.

Its starting to appear that the major problem in mail configuration is
that people are making a complete hash of adding in content scanning
systems - to the point where the majority of these systems appear to
lose mail under some circumstances (and some appear to lose *lots* of
mail). Not to mention the number of odd bounces I see from content
scanners on the mailing list - just mentioning viagra has probably
prevented this message getting to a good percentage :-)
