I don't know about newer versions of sendmail, but on the man page for
sendmail for Solaris 2.3 it says:
-t Read message for recipients. "To:", "Cc", and "Bcc:" lines will
be scanned for people to send to. The "Bcc:" line will be deleted
before transmission. Any addresses in the argument list will be
suppressed.
I *thought* I was making Exim sendmail-compatible in this regard.
