Okay, so what you're saying is... you're sending an email with the
following address format:
TO: Your Account ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
BCC: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Right? And you get the mail addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as expected,
and you also get the one addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now, am I
right in assuming that one@ two@ and three@ are all separate login
accounts? And the same for [EMAIL PROTECTED]?
If you open each of the mails you received, view the message headers
(SHIFT CTRL K), and look at the very FIRST received line, and the top.
It should look something like this:
Received: from <sender server> (<sender server> [<ip address>])
by <mail server> (<maybe software version>) with ESMTP id <uid for the smtp
server>
for <email address>; Wed, 5 Feb 2003 05:29:37 -0600
Now, the part you want to look at is where it says:
for <email address>;
This tells you the final destination of the mail, which would be the
account/alias/email address. Repeat this check on each of the mails
you did get, and see which address didn't get the BCC'd message. Are
any of the 'missing' BCC'd mails to aliases on accounts?

What you should note is that if you addressed a mail TO
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and didn't put any other address in the TO field, and
BCC'd addresses will still see the mail addressed TO [EMAIL PROTECTED]
even though they received it, that is just the way emails work (if
you're interested, I can give you all the technical docs on this).
What you could be seeing is TB! displaying the only TO field it found
in the email, which is correct behaviour.
