True, Bcc to a mailing list is dumb.  But blanket dropping Bcc'd mail is
also not the smartest thing to do.  Humans make mistakes, and accidentally
delete mail they do not want to delete.  That scheme makes it very easy to
for humans to do so and not relize it.

Remember, I am looking at this from the perspective of anything that leads
to lost mail as being the Worst Thing Imagineable.
