When a user BCCs a list of people, their message gets delivered to all but
one of the people on the list.  Their mail server bounces it.  Apparently,
tech support for their mail server claims that the envelope is invalid
because it doesn't contain an X-Recipient header.  I dug through some RFCs
and can't find any mention of X-Recipient.  I'd assume it hasn't been
adopted yet, and they are relying on an experimental header.  Since this
message goes everywhere but there, I'd like some info as to why they are
broke so I can convince them to fix it or change servers.  It sounds like
their tech support doesn't know what they are talking about, but I'd
appreciate any info.

Here are a few example envelopes:
