Absolutely correct. And in /opt/zimbra/log/zimbra.log you can check his authentication username and punish him...

If the above examples are reasonable, then I presume I can safely disregard the detail in these reports, and look only for large changes in volume as indicators of problems.

Correct too.
There is a cront script, zmlogprocess that takes syslog logs into mysql
to be processed. If a message have more than one recipient, or it is addressed to a list, only the first destination address is inserted into mysql. And that address is what you see in your zimbra daily report.
Again a check to /var/log/zimbra.log will tell you the recipient list of that message.
You can connect the logger database using a command (mylogger I think but not sure now) as zimbra user.
