Hi,
I've read some threads in this ml and browsed the web to understand how some
projects and company think to stop the SPAM problem.
I'd like to know something about a special case I had in my mind.
Alice uses her mail client to write a message to Cindy and wants Bob to
receive the same message without telling Cindy.
From: alice(_at_)alice(_dot_)dom
To: cindy(_at_)cindy(_dot_)dom
BCC: bob(_at_)bob(_dot_)dom
However Bob is using a forwarding account, so mails sent to
bob(_at_)bob(_dot_)dom will
be forwarded to bob(_at_)forwarded(_dot_)dom
So we'll have 4 SMTP sessions:
(1)....... Alice's mail client -> Alice's outgoing mail server ...............
Mail From: alice(_at_)alice(_dot_)dom
RCPT TO: cindy(_at_)cindy(_dot_)dom
RCPT TO: bob(_at_)bob(_dot_)dom
(2a)......... Alice's outgoing mail server -> Cindy's MX ..................
Mail From: alice(_at_)alice(_dot_)dom
RCPT TO: cindy(_at_)cindy(_dot_)dom
(2b)......... Alice's outgoing mail server -> Bob's MX .....................
Mail From: alice(_at_)alice(_dot_)dom
RCPT TO: bob(_at_)bob(_dot_)dom
(3)......... Bob's MX -> Bob's forwarded.dom MX .....................
Mail From: alice(_at_)alice(_dot_)dom
RCPT TO: bob(_at_)forwarded(_dot_)dom
I've 2 questions:
1) Is this BCC forwarding supported by any of proposed methods ?
2) If so, how is it handled ? Reading headers ?
Thanks.
Ed
