If you see the addresses in your log as "RCPT TO"'s but don't see them in the header of the messages this is a BCC in almost all cases. Hence toe word "BLIND" Carbon Copy

Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] SPAM question...

I had a similar dilemma the other day when I was checking the contents of the spamfilter's mailbox and found bunch of messages addressed to random names addresses with our own domain.com.

But when I looked at the SMTP log info related to one of these messages I found 6 email addresses that the message was sent to (in the same message ID entry), and only one of them was valid. The other five had random [EMAIL PROTECTED] domain.com, email addresses, but in the header info of each of these messages only displayed the very first email address as a destination address (in Outlook Express) which happened to be an invalid one.
