Unless the mailer is severely broken. I have received mail with a nice
long BCC: header with over 50 addresses in it. I've also received many
419's where there are a similar number of addresses in the To: header,
sort of making a mockery of the "don't tell anyone about this scam" :-)

While others will let it pass through unmolested.
