There are several possibilities, the message may have been sent to multiple 
recipients in the same domain, and since there are multiple copies of the 
message the MTX is unable to insert the <user> information into the 
headers. This is a well-known problem with Sendmail, for example. in order 
to insert the <user> information into a header a separate process needs to 
be spawned for each message copy, this usually happens when a local 
delivery program is used, such as Procmail.

You cannot perform an accurate test of your mail system unless you send the 
test message from an outside source.
