 Hide email addresses from 3rd parties I am trying to hide the email addresses in the to field. I sent a similar message a few weeks ago, and it was suggested that I enter all email addresses in the bcc field. However, I found out that the bcc field is not that
private.
How do spammers protect their identity?

Hide email addresses from 3rd parties What makes you think the BCC field isn't private? As a test, send a message to your hotmail account from Outlook using the BCC field and see what it looks like. You can also use a mail merge if you want only Joe Blow, Jane Doe, etc etc
etc to appear individually in the To: field.

Hide email addresses from 3rd parties When using the BCC field you should put something (perhaps your own email address) in the TO field - some mail servers, if they don't see anything in TO or CC will just dump everyone the mail is being sent to into the TO field. Note also that BCC is NOT a way to hide YOUR identity, only that of the recipients. --

Hide email addresses from 3rd parties It was originally suggested that BCC was the way to protect multiple email addresses. I want to send an email to multiple people. However, to protect their privacy, I do not want the other organizations to see the email addresses? What is my best source way of accomplishing this? Quote: >-----Original Message-----

Hide email addresses from 3rd parties Yes, that's what BCC does.

Hide email addresses from 3rd parties What client did you send to? There was one known bug with an older version of Outlook - but that's it as far as I know. Quote: > >I do not think it is private because I sent it to one

Hide email addresses from 3rd parties I does not work. I tested it out from my office email address to my home email address with my name in the BCC field. At home it displayed my name as preferred in preliminary test. However, when I moved the cursor over to the name, it displayed my work email address. This was only a test. My employer wants to send out emails to a couple of people. However, to protect each of their privacy, my employer also wants to hide their email
might "ONLY" see "Robin", if the email was sent to you. A BCC email failed preliminary tests in Outlook from my office email address to my home email address. Before preliminary tests pass, we cannot continue. The preliminary test should not have my email address in my home account, just the preferred name I chose in Outlook. Why isn't it doing this?

Hide email addresses from 3rd parties What do you mean by "displayed my name as preferred" and "the preferred name I chose in Outlook"? Where did it display your name? Your name _will_ be displayed in the To:
field of any message you send, and it will show your email address
(otherwise people that you send mail to will not be able to reply to the
mail - they can only reply if they have your address). Addresses in the BCC
field, however, will not be shown - in the message you received at your
home, the home address didn't show up, did it, only your work address?

Hide email addresses from 3rd parties To hide your own email address, either send via an annomyzer or via a mail proxy or any other application which is able to send the email without external SMTP server. This allows you to set anything as your own email address. If you are a spammer, be aware that though you can create a wrong reply
address, you can not hide your IP address, in case of any illegal action
(spam in some countries is considered as illegal), it is possible to find
your identity via the IP address, which is recorded at your provider.
