Thoughts? If there is no fix, personally I would much rather give up BCC. It's a simple restriction, which I think would be easy to remember, and worth the trade-off. The only downsides I can see to not using BCC are minor: i) People may cc the control server on replies by accident. This isn't a big deal, the control server won't understand what they say and will just complain. ii) People may send mail to 1234-done in response to a close notice. This is only an issue if the bug has since been reopened, since it will get closed again. This happens very rarely in my experience. I have never used BCC for a -done address, I often use it for the control server. But not using BCC would not of itself solve this problem, since it currently fails with explicit cc as well, see eg: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=4962
