That will be because the external sending attempt is still in the
message headers (before they were ended prematurely). Only the headers
after the erroneous newline that's ending them are showing in the
message body the OP pasted.

I think that's because you read the plain text version of the email.
Presumably because the OP copied and pasted the message body (which is
actually overflown headers), all the email addresses in it were
converted to hyperlinks by the MUA for HTML mail, and then the
hyperlinks were converted to plain text in a stupid way, totally
mangling them.

So instead of:

To: noc-alerts@lists.suretec.net

you saw:

To: noc <noc-alerts@lists.suretec.net>-alerts@
<noc-alerts@lists.suretec.net>lists.suretec.net
<noc-alerts@lists.suretec.net>

Well done for getting that much!

What a mess!
