Yes. The message is queued using qmail-queue, and it's a lot more
efficient to accumulate the addresses, and run qmail-queue once at the
end of the message processing. It also lets you forward the mail to a
bunch of people, then conditionally exit a program delivery with 99,
skipping the forwarding to a bunch more people.
If you really don't like this behavior, forward the mail using |forward.
