Mail is actually routed via the RFC821/2821 MAIL FROM and RCPT TO commands, not by the RFC822/2822 From:/To:/cc:/Bcc: lines. Think - mail from this list gets to you even though you're not in the To: line. :) "undisclosed recipients" just means that somebody/something decided to add into the rfc822 headers the fact that the mail was bcc'ed to multiple people. See rfc2822, sections 3.6.3 and 5 about bcc: for more details on this.
