The MTA does not look at the To/CC headers when deciding where to deliver a message, it uses the envelope recipient information. What happens (at lest, when you're using smtpmail.el) is the envelope recipient information is gathered from the various fields (to/cc/bcc), bcc headers are removed, then the message is injected into the MTA using SMTP. The initial protocol exchange (prior to sending the message data) specifies the sender/recipient addresses. -- Josh Huber
