Block outgoing bcc

[Alex Neuman van der Hans]

I make a point of BCC'ing management when responding to user requests for
assistance. I've had too many instances of users keeping management in the
dark for whatever reason.

That way management can ignore (at their own risk) or be aware of any
situation regarding support for their servers.

Any plans to include this in MailScanner? It would be very helpful to
block/delete/reject delivery to addresses that are not in the To:/cc:
fields.

On the other hand, can anybody think of a legitimate reason for a BCC?
