OK,you tell me who this was bcc'ed to, and I'll believe you.  I can't
get the bcc to show in the headers even if I sit at the command line of
the mail server and type "mail foo -b bar" when both foo and bar are
local addresses.  I can see the bcc info in the message when it's in the
Postfix queue, but not once it is delivered.

Maybe what you did only works when you are using sendmail and reading
the mail on the same machine it was composed on.
