It's sendmail.
If the SMTP transaction indicates that a message is to be delivered to
a single destination then sendmail is typically configured to include a
"for <dest@domain>" phrase in the Received: line that it adds to the
message header on receipt of the message. If the message is
SMTP-addressed to multiple destinations then sendmail doesn't include
that phrase. Using ",nobody" as an additional destination for list
messages forces the latter behaviour.
You can suppress the "for <dest@domain>" phrase by taking the $u macro
out of the definition of the Received: line format in your sendmail.cf,
but that'd suppress the phrase in all messages, not just in list
messages.
