Are you quite sure about this specific claim? When i send an email to three receipients, there are indeed three lines logged, but they all share the same queue ID. I even noticed that when i send an email to three different users of the same domain, that the receiving postfix will actually queue the message once, so on the sending side there are three log lines, one for every receipiend, but each with the same local queue ID and also each with the same remote response, containing three times "queued as <the same queue id>".
