BCC is a royal pain in the butt.  I took the brute force bloody 
ignorance way out in my code.  Since I don't preserve state about a 
message and its stamp, I decided to automatically replicate a message 
going to multiple recipients and put a single stamp in each message. 
This solves the BCC problem nicely but it does cause a mail list explosion.

It is possible to create a stamp state file which is kept in a queue 
entry with a mail message so that every time you generate a stamp, you 
would preserve it until all the stamps are generated and then attach 
them all to the single message (minus bcc) and deliver the "single 
message".  Too much like work.  I had other things to prove.  :-)
