Minor nit: the MCT RFC 
(at <http://www.newsreaders.com/misc/mail-copies-to.html>) states the
following: 

...
The keywords "never" and "always" are included for legacy reasons, and
because they may be directly entered by the user, but the keywords
"nobody" and "poster" are preferred and SHOULD be used instead.
...

So you should try to use "Mail-Copies-To: nobody" instead.
