It's the standard behaviour for all the MLMs I'm familiar with, although
some make it optional.  It's partly a historical thing springing from
the way mailing lists have been implemented in the past (as /etc/alias
entries), partly for verification (I know my message went out - I can
see it) and partly there for some kinds of processing of lists.
