        I believe that a valid "To:" and/or "Cc:" header is required,
period. The presence or absence of a "Bcc:" header is immaterial.
Therefore, you must stick something in there, even if it is
effectively empty.

        The "weirdo thing it inserts" was determined experientially to be
the best default action to perform. However, like sendmail, postfix
may want an option to control how it handles this situation (there
are multiple possibilities).
