See also multigram.c, line 917:

#if 0                    /* metoo support removed, not supported by sendmail */
        if(chkmetoo)
           printf("%s\n",strcmp(mp->hard+strlen(mp->hard)+1,NOT_METOO)
            ?metoo_SENDMAIL:nometoo_SENDMAIL);
        else
#endif

I have the feeling that this metoo/nometoo thing is a "sendmailism",
because the manpage for the MTA I use (exim) says this:

       -om    In sendmail, this option means 'me too', indicating
              that the sender of a message should receive a  copy
              of  the  message  if the sender appears in an alias
              expansion. Exim always does  this,  so  the  option
              does nothing.
