Because Bcc: by definition does not appear in the headers of delivered mail.

The problem is you are testing the wrong thing. Instead of looking at
message headers, you should be looking for 'tojoin' in the msgdata which
is set when the mail is initially received be Mailman.

Instead of what you've done, I would do
