It is certainly a possibility. However, my difficulty with that
explanation is that:

1. Our users employ webmail (squirrelmail) so their address books are
maintained on a sealed server. There are no user accounts on it.  And
we run aide on it.  And we have fail2ban running.  And ssh is blocked
at the firewall.

2. Some of these addresses like xxxx.bugzilla and xxxx.redhat are only
used for bug reporting.  They would be found on the respective sites
but it seems to me doubtful that they would end up in a user address
book.

3.  If there is nothing that involves Postfix then something like what
you propose must be the case.  Or someone has gone to some lengths to
scan for these addresses using our domain name as a search term.
