Exim removes Bcc lines *only* if you call it with the -t option (i.e.
when it is acting partly as an MUA). It does not remove Bcc lines that
are present in incoming SMTP mail. Indeed, it should not. From RFC 822:
4.5.3. BCC / RESENT-BCC
This field contains the identity of additional recipients of
the message. The contents of this field are not included in
copies of the message sent to the primary and secondary reci-
pients. Some systems may choose to include the text of the
"Bcc" field only in the author(s)'s copy, while others may
also include it in the text sent to all those indicated in the
"Bcc" list.
Only the initiating software can tell what to do with Bcc; any software
receiving mail over SMTP has to leave it alone.
