This is normal behavior for the server when receiving mail to multiple
recipients under the same domain. This is one of the reasons why
it is not recommended to rely on Received headers to make decisions
about delivery in your procmail coding algorithms.
Unless you control your own servers and can set them up to be
transparent in a non-standard way, you will not be able to rely
fully on what's in Received headers to see who the intended recipient
is.
Many mail servers inject X-Original-To or Delivered-To headers
now so that one can see who the actual envelope-to recipient was.
But knowing exactly which other users were possibly bcc'd is
generally not possible at the MDA (procmail) level.
