Many thanks for the analysis and finding the cause of the issue!

I've just found this link:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/exim/users/61977, and checked that
exim still works that way, i.e. does not strip Bcc unless the `-t'
option is given. On the other hand postfix seems to always remove the
Bcc header.

Thanks you a lot. I think I will go with updating the patch 03 anyway.
