Actually, it's still happening even with posts to the to: field.

A case in point is the message I sent to Bugtraq and Full-Disclosure
yesterday where all the entries were in the to line. Some of the bounce
messages I received (not the copious out of office messages which I delete
anyway) were saying that they were unable to deliver to full-disclosure or
bugtraq, which they shouldn't have been doing anyway.

One of these faulty remailers appeared to belong to Microsoft.
