I think it is safe to assume that the people who drafted the RFC did their homework and it logically follows that there is (absolutely) no way to retrieve the original BCC entries (not even by the receiving smtp admin).
Theoretically, you could check the To and CC headers, and add the RCPT TO: target to a BCC: field if not found in either - don't see the point though. If you aren't listed in To or CC, it is obvious you were BCCed, and it is impossible to determine the other BCC recipients as that information never leaves the mail composer (that said, an initial first-hop host *could* compare multiple emails sent in a single session, and rebuild the BCC list in full that way; dont' see why you would do that though (the BCC recipients aren't supposed to be public, that is the whole point) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
