In my (vast) experience with e-mail (most of it with Postfix though) I
observed this behaviour when the message was for multiple recipients.
IIRC, Postfix adds a "for <...>" only if the message is for one
recipient only. Probably sendmail will do the same, as the problem is
inherent to SMTP mail handling (where one message may be directed to
multiple recipients). I remember the first time I noticed that I was
puzzled by it as well.

HTH,
Filipe
