The only time Exim does anything to Bcc is to remove it when you use -t
to extract recipients from it. This you are not doing. Exim won't touch
headers otherwise, except in the case that an address uses a non-FQDN
and Exim has to expand it.

Do you mean when a message is delivered using BSMTP? If so, the question
isn't meaningful. The addresses that are written in BSMTP format are the
envelope recipients. Nothing to do with To, Cc, or Bcc.

The sending MUA sent it that way?

$/ = "\n\n";
%headers = ("dummy", split /^([^\s:]+):/m, <STDIN>);
Then refer to $headers{'to'}, etc.
