Hi everyone,
I asked a few weeks ago about known issues with qmail not delivering
BCC messages. After investigating further, the client is claiming
that the messages that are not delivered have ONLY a BCC (no to, no
cc). In a quick reading of RFC822, it appears that there is some
ambiguity to the spec (surprise!)... a "destination" is required,
where destination is defined as a To:, CC: or Bcc:. But, it also
says that the Bcc: can be put only on the author's copy, or on
all Bcc recipients copies, but NOT on To: or CC: recipient copies
of the message. It's optional in the first two cases.
So, in theory, a message with a BCC only would have no To:, CC:,
or Bcc: headers, at least in some cases. Question is, is the
message then a "legal" message, or would qmail just drop it since
there is no "destination"? I know Dan is a stickler for observing
correct protocol (I agree with him), but I'm not sure if this is
a bug or "expected behavior".
Thanks!
