I receive emails addressed "undisclosed recipients" I think this means that I
cannot tell who else this has been sent to.
How do I do this?
The sender put all recipients in the Bcc field. Some e-mail servers
will not accept outbound messages with blank To/Cc fields (although they
never actually use those fields to specify the recipient of an e-mail;
they use the RCPT-TO commands sent to it by the client) or some spam
filters will block e-mails with those fields as blank. So some e-mail
clients put something in the To field. Whether the recipient of
"Undisclosed Recipients" has a valid e-mail address or not is irrelevant
(again, those *fields* are in the data of the message and NOT used to
specify the recipients). You need to look at the properties of that
generic recipient name to see if an e-mail address is associated with
it, like the sender's own e-mail address.
Outlook Express will insert "Undisclosed Recipients" when the To field
is blank. I don't know if it associates an e-mail address field of the
return-path header (From: "comment" <emailaddress>). Outlook won't do
that. If you want something similar, define a new contact named
"Undisclosed Recipients" and use your own e-mail address for that
contact. You can then use it in the To field when all recipients are
specified in the Bcc field. However, some spam filters will block
e-mails with "Undisclosed Recipients" in the To field so it is better to
use a descriptive name for that bulk mail that you sent to multiple
recipients, like create a contact named "Vonnie's Newsletter" and use
that in the To field.
