I'm current using recipient_bcc_maps to forward spam trap emails to a dnsbl.
I've been asked by another dnsbl to provide them the same trap data.
According to recipient_bcc_maps, I can't bcc to more than one address. I
thought of creating a local alias that expands to both addresses and bcc'ing
that local alias address, but my further reading of recipient_bcc_maps says
I can't do that either.

How can I accomplish this "simple" task? I'm using 2.5.5.

Thanks.

As documented.

I don't see any text that _bcc_maps recipient are given other
treatment than non-BCC recipients.

Thanks Wietse. I was misreading this

Note: automatic BCC recipients are produced only for new mail. To
avoid mailer loops, automatic BCC recipients are not
generated for mail that Postfix forwards internally, nor for mail
that Postfix generates itself.

to mean that bcc'ing to a local virtual_alias_maps address that expands to
multiple remote addresses fell under "internal forwarding". I assume now
that my example would be "internal processing" not "internal forwarding".

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.
