So this only occurs with some posts and is not always the same address?

Is the poster doing something like

Cc: Thomas, Bill <bt at example.com>

which is really two addresses, the local address Thomas and
bt at example.com, and then the MTA qualifies the local address by adding
the local domain.

(The correct form of the above would be

Cc: "Thomas, Bill" <bt at example.com>

or

Cc: Thomas\, Bill <bt at example.com>
)
