Article: Q161943
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): 4.0
Operating System(s):
Keyword(s): kbusage
Last Modified: 18-MAY-2001
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 4.0
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows 95
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The Microsoft Internet Mail Service for Windows 95 and Windows NT Server
improperly sends the BCC recipients information in the RFC-822 header of the
mail message. This causes all recipients of the message to see who was BCC'd on
the mail message.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 4.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange 4.0
U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the
following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION
================
RFC-822 states the following about the BCC field:
This field contains the identity of additional recipients of the
message. The contents of this field are not included in copies of the
message sent to the primary and secondary recipients.
