But they are not always the most useful target.

Consider an original message which has a From: PHB and CC: HR, and where
the recipient is the only address listed in To:. It is reasonable for an
out-of-office notification to go to the From: and CC: parties, since this
message is specifically intended for the recipient (given the other people
in the distribution, it would be a damn good idea to send it to all of
them). It is not entirely logical to send the message to the secretary
mailbox in the reverse-path. The secretary doesn't care.
