Re: BCC in message to pickup folder is NOT "blind"

Hi Sandy:


Sorry to seem obtuse, but I am not alone in this issue: on Google (and
similar) search, I fond dozens of people with the same problem.

Microsoft acknowledged this as a bug in other SMTP server versions such as
that provided with IIS on Windows 2000 and Exchange Srvr. 4.0. Those
products were patched to address this VERY SAME issue.

Does a similar patch need to be made for IIS on Windows 2003? Can someone
from MS comment on this thread?

Again, you are the mail client. You do not technically submit over
SMTP, but the special x- headers are interpreted as RFC 821 envelope
variables, not RFC 822 header variables:

x-sender = RFC 821 MAIL FROM:
x-receiver = RFC 821 RCPT TO:

Before ever posting my question here I read both RFC 821 and 822
[http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc821.html
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html]

Neither of these documents seems to address "x-sender" or "x-receiver" --
what you term "pickup headers."

Is there a document from which I can learn about such pickup headers?

More to the point, is there a BCC pickup header?

I can get "x-sender" and "x-receiver" to work within a txt message dropped
in the pickup folder, but I still can NOT figure out the syntax for BCC.

You mention "RFC 821 envelope variables" . . . RFC does not even mention
BCC. Is THAT where my problem stems from?!


To: header != RCPT TO: (unless you purposely set them to the same
value).

I get that.

FWIW, "!=" may be unclear to those NOT schooled in C++, C# or JScript. To
avoid unambiguity for the legions of VB.Net coders out there you may wish to
ALSO write <> or simply "not equal."

Thanks for your (or anyone else's) ongoing help.
