Yes, I figured that was the question. Of course, qmail-smtpd is an
SMTP server; it only cares about what's in the envelope. It _doesn't_
care about what's in the message header.
Envelope recipients are accepted or rejected on a case-by-case basis.
If you specify multiple recipients in an SMTP conversation, some may
be accepted, some may be rejected. control/rcpthosts determines which
ones to accept/reject.

The machine talking to the SMTP server may specify the Cc recipient
as an envelope recipient. The SMTP server itself, however, does not
do that (since, as I said before, the SMTP server does not look at
the message header).
As lurkers should tell by now: the envelope is totally independent of
the header. Bcc works because it specifies recipients in the envelope
that do not get specified in the header.
