You didn't tell us, if there is an BCC: header in your message.
Depending on your MUA and how the MUA delivers the message to your Exim
instance, the BCC: header *may* be there, or not.
Some MUA send the messages via "sendmail -t", thus sendmail
(here it's Exim) needs to see all headers to extract the list of
recipients. (In this mode of operation Exim removes the BCC: header
after extracting the addresses.)
If your client passes the message via SMTP to your Exim instance, the
client tells the server the list of recpients via SMTP "RCPT TO: …",
thus here Exim doesn't need the headers of your message
(and won't even look at them). If a BCC: header is there, Exim will pass
this header happily to the recpients. It's in responsibility of the
sending MUA to remove the BCC: header in advance.
So, your filter problems condenses to what others already told you: you
need to check *if* there is a BCC: header at all. Chance are quite good,
that there is no BCC: header field.
