I can clarify this text by changing it to:

    automatic BCC recipients are not generated after Postfix forwards
    mail internally, or after Postfix generates mail itself.

It's just one more item for the documentation checklist:

- Instead of "Postfix", "server" or "client" write "Postfix SMTP
  server", "remote SMTP client", and so on. We're pretty good on
  that one.

- Instead of "when", make the dependency clear with words like
  "before", "after", etc. There is some work left here.
