Default email address - Exchange 2010

An issue cropped up that I need your help.  Have Server 2008 Standard with Exchange 2010 plus AD installed.  I have a user whose email address is smith@company.com and his login (user) name is bob.  Here is the issue:  The user is receving and sending email with smith@company.com AND bob@company.com.   As administrator, I did NOT add bob@company.com to his AD SMTP email addresses.  The address with smith@company.com is the "default" email address in Exchange.  
How did the bob@company.com get in the SMTP if I did NOT add it?
I now need to determine, I assume from the "sent" folder, all the mail that was sent under bob@company.com so that I can blast email to them that the correct email address is smith@company.com.   What is the best way to do this?   Your help is most appreciative.  Many thanks in advance for your support.

Is your internal domain name the .com address??

If so, this is how he got bob@
Did you check the default email address policies.  In Exchange 2007 its under org config, hub transport, email address policies.
Not sure where the rest of my first post went :(
