Not odd at all.  You're sending one message with multiple recipients.
All the receipients were going to the same mx (machine).  So when the
remote machine received it it resolved the aliases (virtusertable) saw
it went ot the same user and only delivered it once.  Makes a lot of
sense.  Saves on disk space.  And generally does what the receiving user
wants anyway.  If somone sends a signle email to several of my addresses
all at once I really don't need multiple copies of that email.
