Doesn't that end up making $CCTO and $BCCTO end up in the "To:" header 
and not the "Cc:" and "Bcc:" headers?

With smail how do you supply the "Cc:" and "Bcc:" entries from the 
command line?

Or... do we need to begin using the sendmail -t option?  From 'man 
sendmail'...

      -t     Read message for recipients.  To:, Cc:, and Bcc: lines 
will be scanned for recipient addresses.  The Bcc: line will be deleted 
before transmission.

Does the smail sendmail man page read the same for "-t" ?  The postfix 
version reads like this:

      -t     Extract recipients from message headers. These are added 
to any recipients specified on the command line.

             With Postfix versions prior to 2.1, this option requires 
that no recipient addresses are specified on the command line.

So with postfix it's not clear that the Bcc: header would get deleted.  
I'd have to test that.

Thanks,

Lee.
