RE: Email being replicated to users not in "to" field

If you have the Internet headers already, you can check without going
through the logfiles and obtain an answer with a fairly high degree of
certainty. If a user receives an email message and is not listed in the
To: or CC: headers (either specifically or via a distribution list),
then they were BCC'ed.
 
(There are some other conditions that can cause it to occur: an Outlook
forwarding rule from someone who is on the To: or CC: header, alternate
recipients specified, some other pathological situations, but that is
most of them. Going through the logfile could eliminate these as
possibilities.)

You very well may be correct, I had not thought of that ... I assume if
I go through the log files, I should see this?
 
Thank you for your help

        They were very like BCC'ed (blind copy).

        I am a newbie as an exchange administrator with an odd problem.
Running
        Exchange 2000, with Symantec for virus protection. I have 2
users that
        are receiving email addressed to another user in the firm. Their
name
        is not part of the "to" field in Outlook, yet they receive the
email.
        The email is spam. Where or how do I begin to figure this out?
Or, can
        someone refer me to an article that would help. I have made a
copy of
        the internet headers via Outlook/options for IP lookup.
        
        Thank you for your help
