my tests are on Debian Woody, MUA is Mutt 1.3.28i (2002-03-13), MTA is
masqmail 0.2.20 +resolver +smtp-server +pop3 +auth +maildir +ident

yes and no: Mutt doesn't write Bcc: line in 'DATA', so MTA need not care 
of it; also if TO/CC/BCC destinees are read from TO/CC/BCC lines from
stdin by MTA, then MTA strips away BCC:, but Anubis talks to MTA via 
socket and feeds it whole msg in DATA, hence any BCC: lines goes through
untouched. While you may have no problems with normal msg handling with
Mutt, I've found msg2smtp.pl handy for eg webmail-anubis-mta, so those few
lines is an extra safty check, and doesn't hurt anyway.

Also, old msg2smtp.pl doesn't work with bouncing, since it reads recipients
from TO/CC/BCC lines, while Mutt puts intended destinees on cmd lines (it
expects the $sendmail prg act like 'sendmail -oem -oi -- rcpt1 rcpt2 ...)

probably; indeed, msgs I send through Anubis with TO/BCC/CC lines with no 
domain comes in as @myisp.domain, which might be as useless as @localhost
for the recipient.
But if I drop @domain from recipients, Mutt+MTA works while Mutt+Anubis+MTA
fails - MTA complains for not fqn on destination, hence the other part of 
the hack.

right, I was talking about that, and that's where the problem is - but pls see 
next msg as this is another topic, and I already wrongly mixed them in 
original posting.
