[comp.mail.sendmail] Why do Bcc's only work sometimes...

rrr@u02.svl.cdc.com (Rich Ragan) (01/01/91)

If I use a Bcc (blind copy) to someone local to my site
they get it. If I use a Bcc to someone reached via mail at a
remote site they don't get it. This appears to be something
that sendmail is doing based on certain criteria of the mailer
such that local mailers get Bcc's and others don't. Why?

I have written a mail gateway to a proprietary mail system
so I don't have to deal directly with it. It can handle
Bcc's and my mailer is prepared to handle them but they 
never get through sendmail. Is there some attribute I can
add to my mailer description that will cause sendmail to
treat it like /bin/mail? Current description is as follows:

Mcdcmail,    P=/usr/lib/cdcmailer, F=rlsDFMm, S=10, R=20, A=rmail -d $u
Mprog,  P=/bin/sh,   F=lsDFMe,   S=10, R=20, A=sh -c $u
