I find it *very* unlikely that exim is stripping the BCC header, or
any other header, from a message received via SMTP. That is, unless
you are telling it to via a headers_remove statement.

What is your evidence for that? Specifically, how have you
demonstrated that the BCC header was included in the message data in
the first place? Remember that MUAs will include a BCC header only
in the copy of a message to be delivered to the BCC recipients, if at
all. To: and Cc: recipients are not allowed to see a BCC header.
