AW: A question to BCC recipient

Yes, your answer bring me to the right direction.

The "x-recipient" isn't added by the email client nor from mercury/32. It's added by the popfile-daemon.

It's the -t flag of the popfiled:

<dl><dt><pre><code>-t</code></pre>     If present, mail tagged with either the <p> <pre><code>X-Text-Classification</code></pre> or the <pre><code>X-POPFile-Link</code></pre> </p><p> headers will also receive the new header </p><p> <pre><code>X-Recipient:&nbsp;&lt;recipient_name&gt;</code></pre></p></dt><dt> </dt><dt>It seems to me: it's not a good idea to use the  -t  flag if BCC is used. <br></dt><dt> </dt><dt>Thank you :-) <br></dt><dd> <br></dd></dl>

I'm a little confused about the BCC... I thought: if I send an email with all recipient in the BCC, no recipient can see the other emailaddresses except the own one. But if I look in the full email header, of an email with only BCC addresses, I can see all the addresses as:

X-Recipient: <mail@email.email>

X-Recipient: <mail2@email.email>

Is this a issue of mercury/32 or of the used mailprogram?

I use Mercury/32 v4.73

Thanks for any help!

Mercury doesn't add the 'x-recipient' header - it must come from the email client or some other server handing the message.

If you want to be certain, swich on session logging to see what comes into and  goes out of Mercury.
