Add new email header line and add Bcc recepient to this additional header.

807574Sep 2 2004 — edited Feb 20 2020
Hi Folks,

iMS5.2p1, Solaris 8.

Just after a few directions. I have a 'catch-all' mbox, that customer POP's. The customer then uses MDaemon to deliver email, based on rules to correct recepients, works fine until a Bcc comes in, as quoted below.

Why doesn't MDaemon parse the BCC header?
BCC only works with SMTP mail. By definition, the carbon copy is "Blind".
There are no headers in the message which can be parsed using the POP3 method that would provide the address. The only hope for these kinds of messages is to get the ISP to stamp the message file with the delivery information from the SMTP session during delivery to the ISP. For example, when the person sends the BCC message to the ISP hosting the mail, some of them stamp a header called "Deliver-To:" into the message. MDaemon could pick up on such a header if it existed.

I know I would have to tackle this with either a re-write/mapping/conversion, but not sure what the best approach, ie to add and rewrite the Bcc, recepient into the new 'Deliver-To:' header.

Any good solutions/tips ?

Cheers folks.
