I googled around looking for this, apparantly my google-fu is failing this
morning. I just switched over to using a Postfix/Dovecot virtual set-up
with Dovecot as the delivery agent. One of my users mistyped his email
address when he paid for something through Paypal and the reciept got
forwarded to everyone. It didn't bounce or just go to Postmaster, it was
delivered to every valid user on the system.
Below is my conf comments stripped:

And here's the mail.log from a test message that I sent out:
