In fact, it does.

In fact, it does not.

The addresses in the BCC field (in fact, there's no
such thing, and it's only your mailing program like Outlook that knows
anything about this field; the addresses go to what's known as "the
envelope") are usually visible to 1) your provider's server and 2) your
addressees' providers' servers.

Unless your provider's server connects directly to your addressee's servers,
they are NOT the only servers to whom the bcc field is visible. It's
visible to ANY server that the data is passed along.

You can use tracert to get a pretty good idea of how many servers also get
to look at the data. It's almost never just your server and the recipient's
server. Nearly all of the time, a spammer's server is not in the middle.
But there's no way to guarantee that one's not, and it DOES happen that one
is now and then.

Again, I assume that's what Edward was referring to in his post.
