My mistake.
There is a line "BCC:\n" in the header.
I must have done something wrong in the testing.
My apologies, for wasting your time.

Unable to replicate with PHP4-LATEST.
Is it possible your To: address has a coma at the end? The way the
Win32 sendmail code is written a "blank" recipient will be sent as just
RCPT TO:<>.
Issue a var_dump( $t_recipient); prior to sending the mail to be
certain it doesn't have a coma at the end.
Also, if you include headers with blank Cc: or Bcc: lines they will
also exhibit this behavior.

just to clarify.
The code is:
$result = mail( "aa@aa.com", "sub", "msg");

Description:
------------
calling mail() function causes PHP to send out an extra "RCPT TO: <>"
command to the SMTP host.
Packet sniffer shows:
...
C:MAIL FROM:<some@somewhere.com>
S:250 2.1.0 <some@somewhere.com> Sender OK
C:RCPT TO:<aa@aa.com>
S:250 2.1.5 <aa@aa.com> Recipient OK
C:RCPT TO:<>
S:553 5.0.0 <> User address required
related entries in php.ini
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mailhost.aa.com
; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = some@somewhere.com
The weird thing is, the same code works on another machine that has
exactly the same php.ini and php software as the machine having
problems.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$result = mail( $t_recipient, "test", "test msg");
where $t_recipient is a valid SMTP email address.
Expected result:
----------------
$result == true;
Actual result:
--------------
$result == false;
