You have missed the point: It's the responsibility of of the sending program not to put bcc informations into the data part of the mail. Since POP3 only stores the data part you won't see it unless the mailserver puts envelope informations into the data part. Now that it's the job of the POP3 client to remove these and reuse it as envelope informations. The typical Problems are: - Cheap implementations try to guess envelope informations from the To: and CC: Header. - Better implementations require envelope informations put into the header part by the MTA on the POP3 Server. - Realy working implementations also need to remove the helper headers. Otherwise a recpient would get the header encoded envelope. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
