Matus and Viktor, thank you for your responses!

I'm trying to add an additional BCC for some mail recipients but not for all.
All mails must go into the archive (always_bcc). This works so far.
But now, for some recipients, I'd like to have an additional BCC. So 
recipient_bcc_maps seems to be what I'm looking for.

The reason behind this: I have to process the mails to *some* recipients with a 
custom written program using "pipe" transport - but *additional* to Spam and 
Virus filtering (Amavis), mail archival (always_bcc) and normal delivery (LMTP 
/ Dovecot). I also thought about monitoring the affected Maildirs for changes 
(inotify). But I want the program based processing take place independently 
from what happens in the mailbox (deletion or moving of mails). The program 
should not fail if a user deletes a message faster than my program processed 
it. So I abandoned the Maildir monitoring approach.
