It might have been added by a mailer (e.g. M$ Exchange) or a mail client (e.g. M$ Outlook).
It can also be set during sending by the sending mailer (sendmail, postfix, ... running on the Unix system), by means of a sender rewriting rule.
Further it can be set by a sending mail agent (mail, mailx, on the Unix system) that insert the user name from the passwd file.
The latter can be seen with
Code:
getent passwd kol

NB /etc/aliases is for rewriting the receiver (To: ).
