 Actually I'm wrong, it IS clear what was done, I just missed it:
 Brendan applied patch-1.5.11.bc.smtp.12, which appears to remove a BCC
 header whenever SMTP relay is being used.  My patch takes the opposite
 approach, forcing the writing of the BCC header on fcc.

 Assuming that behavior stands, then you should be able to get what you
 want by setting write_bcc.  In my opinion, the problem with this
 approach is that it doesn't take into account the possibility that a
 new MTA will come along that does not remove BCC headers, regardless
 of how a message is submitted (or a new release of an existing MTA
 that has a bug).  It is better (i.e. safer), IMO, to always leave
 write_bcc unset, but force writing the header on fcc.
