from the following snippet from the manual..
|always_bcc
|
| Type: boolean
| Default: false
|
| Exim adds a To: header to messages whose recipients are given on the
| command line when there is no To:, Cc:, or Bcc: in the message. In

| header to make the message conform with RFC 822.
..it looks like it should add the "To:" as my always_bcc is set to false
and the file did not contain any "To:", "Cc:" or "Bcc:" headers!
OTOH I just did a
$ ls | exim oexel@???
and noticed that the "To:" header WAS added! the only differences I can
think of are:
- there's a single address;
- there are no headers at all;
I agree it is better to add the "To:" header myself but, beeing a newbie
in MTA's, I really would like to know what is going on!
