Oh! I think I just partially figured out WTF "bccin" and "bccout"
mean. That particular mail server (probably) likes to rewrite
messages (headers) on you, so you need a special command to tell it
not to. I still don't know what "out" vs. "in" means. All mail comes
in to the MTA and then goes out from it. (if it doesn't, then the MTA
lost the mail somewhere, and that's never a good sign) If the MTA
modifies the message, it violates RFCs 821 and 2821. (that being
said, with the current state of affairs of "clients" every MTA has the
ability to do at least some header modificatin)
As nate said, by simply aliasing the address you can send a copy to
some other place. I also agree with his choice of IMAP (and
squirrelmail) for providing non-LAN access to mail. For remote
sending you can also setup TLS and/or AUTH to control relaying.
