Just because spammers abused the BCC field doesn't change what it was designed for, that's my point here. IMHO the issue is implementation, and a properly implemented BCC field should do exactly what your script does, send a separate copy of the email (void of any other addresses that were in the list) TO: each address in the list. And that's actually stated in the RFC, but the RFC doesn't take into account the way it's commonly implemented, and subsequently abused. Maybe there is another RFC out there that offers further guidance, but I haven't seen it yet :)

Otherwise, getting into the habit of misusing BCC, etc, can get you into trouble later. You never know who might have a sensitive filter, etc. I assume it will only become more problematic over time as people become increasingly sensitive to spam and how their filters are configured.
