SMTP Protocol

[Frank]

Anyone other than Jos, 4ePost.f, do any work involving communcation
with an SMTP server?
Having a problem with my header fields, I think, since no copies are
sent, just the original destination.

I think I found the answer. Buried not in an instruction manual or in
the SMTP standard but in a message posed in some vague place, states
'..client handles the CC: and Bcc: fields and not the SMTP server....'

In other words you do it yourself. Your program, the client, takes
the addessess in the CC: and/or Bcc: fields and creates an email for
them by using 'rcpt:<address in cc/bcc filed>'

Hi Frank,

Thanks for finding this out!
User programs often like to pretend that something happens
"automatically" when in fact a lot happens under the hood...
