Handling bcc's in incoming mail

Hi! We have all of the mail for our domain delivered to a single mailbox at our ISP and download periodically through dialup. If a local user is a bcc or cc on an email where the To is not a valid local account, the mail gets routed to the default mailbox for the domain. Is there any way to get Mercury to look at the bcc and cc and deliver it to the proper mailbox? Thanks.
 
the bcc addressee is in teh 'envelope', and you loose that at your ISP once they put it in the 'domain mailbox'. If your ISP puts a supplemental header with the BCC address in (like x-original-bcc:user@domain.net), you might be able to use a global policy to filter it. I haven't set those up yet, but I've read about them. Good luck!
 
Thanks for the insight. One thing though, I started session logging for the Pop3 Client and when I looked in the log file for the 'generic' user, it showed that all of the address lines were intact: 'To: listuser@listserv.com' and 'Bcc: myuser@mydomain.com' (ficitious addresses). I don't have a copy of the file on this machine, but could obtain one and include if it would help. Make any sense?

Thanks again.
