but you didn't send it TO them.... you sent it TO someone else, with them in the BCC.... if you don't want them to see who it went to, then don't put any names/addresses in the TO, and just put them all in the BCC.

Some systems won't send unless there's an address in the TO field... in this case I've seen people send it to themselves (so the TO & FROM are the same) and then put all the recipients into the BCC.

another alternative is to start a loop and send the email one at a time, replacing the TO address on each loop. Downside of this is that some SMTP servers will see this as spamming and will mark the email as such on its way out.


Nightwalker - it's a common practice, especially where you're sending out newsletters where you don't want to reveal your entire list. I get a lot of newsletters this way.
