Bcc and it's pit falls

Hi All

How many of you would like to agree with me that 'BCC' getting deleted from 
"sendmail", an MTA, is a real head-ache for Email Administrators as they have 
to keep watch on Enterprise-data and its forwarding to others for 
"consideration"?

Don't you think we all should request the "great people" who maintain 
sendmail/procmailrc to disable this feature looking into recent times?. So much 
of information flows out of an organizations and as there are no to-headers 
where the information has gone, we feel helpless and buy the clues of the 
sender that "it went for safe reason".

Incase any one of you have overcome this problem, I shall be grateful to you if 
you passon the methods to control thru 'bcc', what we call in today's world, 
"Industrial Espionage".

best regards to all.

  Are there any clues for a non-root user examining headers with
  procmail or spamassassin that a suspected spam is safe to bounce too,
  and not an innocent 3rd party?

  I suppose if we were sure about that then should also know if it is
  spam or not in the first place.
