My $.02:
Generating message headers such as BCC is clearly an MUA function, I
don't see how there could be any doubt about that. Any MUA that
generates a BCC header in the copy of a message being sent to non-BCC
recipients is not RFC compliant. I also believe (but did not re-
check) that any MTA that modifies headers like BCC in transit is not
RFC compliant.
FWIW, if a postmaster nonetheless wants to "break" his MTA by
implementing a fix for such broken MUAs, he can easily do that with
exim already.
