I can confirm that exim4 4.69-5 does *not* remove the Bcc header. :( I did the test... > Quite the contrary: the Exim FAQ[3] and a post on the Exim User's > mailing list[4] seem to suggest that Exim will _never_ remove the Bcc > headers by default. It can do whatever it wants when invoked as "exim" or "exim4", but should keep sendmail's behavior when invoked as "sendmail" (note: this is just a matter of implementation, the interface between the MUA and the MTA is out of the scope of the RFC's). I've reported a bug on this subject: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=485751 "When invoked as sendmail, exim4 should keep sendmail compatibility concerning Bcc header" BTW, not removing Bcc headers from the MUA's side can be useful, e.g. for logging purpose. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
