Thank you Rene, I tried with the filter you recommended, but it sends the
messages just the same.
This is how I set the filter up:
Conditions
If number of recipients To or CC > 1
Receive mode is not BCC
Actions
Display Alert "No BCC Set!"
Move message into folder Folder Name
When all conditions are met, the alert displays correctly, but even if I
don't close the alert window, after a few seconds the message is sent.

I thought I replied back to the list after getting a query for further
info, but apparently did not ... so to refresh, I had this problem:

I believe it was Jerome who replied:

Yes, and it appears, yes. I have the program set to empty the trash on
quit. I tried to do that manually at your suggestion, and also got the
STL error.
And then was asked:

Both, individually as well as doing the whole group of five repair
options by launching when holding option+command. And it can only be
done that way it seems; I tried to do the compact from within the
program and got a memory error (not the STL error).
I'm really quite frustrated, because this problem just began appearing
out of nowhere.

I've only played a little with AppleScript, but in the PowerMail
dictionary, there is a message property for 'status', which can be set
to 'draft'. If the conditions were met, is it possible to run an
AppleScript that sets the message status to draft?

Maybe you can get-it in a tricky way, Giovanni:
Try to create a new SMTP-account with a possible but not existing address
of a fictional mail-host.
