This happens if you don't include a "To:" line in the actual message body.
This is something that you will see in sendmail but not mail.

Here is the relevant part of the script (in the "form message" section)

Try this as a test.
\
Create a file called "messagetest.txt" containing the following 4 lines
(including the blank line)

Subject: test subject
To: youraddress you com

Ths is a test


Then do this command
# cat messagetest.txt | /usr/lib/sendmail -f fromaddress from com
youraddress you com


The "To:" header will be taken from the file.
