exim has no concept of a "primary recipient" *UNLESS* it has been given the
"-t" HACK to tell it to generate the recipients.

If it is working as a true MTA, it cannot correlate actual recipients with RFC
822 headers.

As it does.

As above -- a true MTA cannot determine which recipients are Bcc: recipients
and which are not.
