With one possible exception, everybody's opinion was that an MTA has no
business messing with Bcc: header lines. Here is a quote from Tony
Hansen:
"The MUA, however it is constituted, should handle all BCC processing,
and the cloning of messages with and without the Bcc: header."

I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, but shouldn't the rule be that the
agent that extracts the contents of the Bcc: header field, along with To:
and Cc:, in order to construct the 2821 RCPT TO: commands, is the agent that
determines the contents and/or (lack of) presence of the Bcc: field in the
message. Any agent that receives the recipient addresses via RCPT TO: can
be assured that the decision has already been made.
