Folk,
Imagine I send a message to these addresses.
to: cougar at mountains.org
bcc: goat at mountains.org
In MacOS both recipients see both addresses in the header.
In MS-Win each recipient sees only his or her address.
According to my very limited understanding of SMTP, this
is a fault of the SMTP server. A bcc: recipient should
receive only his/her own address. A to: or cc: recipient
should not receive bcc: addresses. Whether or not a
receiving system shows bcc: addresses is a secondary
argument. Can anyone confirm this or correct my misunderstanding?
As an additional test this message is addressed
To: oberon at lists.inf.ethz.ch
bcc: eagle at mountains.org
If the Shaw SMTP server transmits it, I'm curious to
know whether the eagle at mountains.org is in the header.
Thanks for any help, ... Peter E.
