How can I send one e-mail to multiple receipents & protect identit

[Guest]

How can we send one e-mail to multiple receipients, without the receipients
being aware of the other senders details?

We've tried BCC but it's not ideal - we want a distribution list where they
can't see the other receipients contact details

I would also like to know.

The message have the same address in "From" and "To". I regulary get
messages from the kid's school like that. Sometimes a message has
'undisclosed receipient' in the "To" box.

What problems have you had with Bcc? It shows no details of recipients.

What happens when you define a distribution list and put THAT in the Bcc
header?

Depends on the type of DL -- Exchange GAL or personal. If it's a personal
DL, that's no different from putting in multiple Bcc recipieints.

I have no problem with putting many addresses in the BCC
field- but the receipient will be able to tell the e-mail
was BCC'd rather than To'd to him (bad grammer - sorry!)

As Richard also comments, I often receive e-mails which I
know to be a "mass mailing", but which only show my
address in the "To" section.

I often have cause to send the same e-mail to a number of
receipients, but for privacy and client confidentiality I
need to make sure they are not aware of the identity or
contact details of the other receipients, which is why a
Distribution List is not ideal (Although I haven't tried
putting a DL into a BCC field - I'll try this).

Obviuosly sending the same e=mail individually to
receipients is time consuming. If I can receieve messages
in the way I want to send them ("To box"), then there
must be a way of receiving them....

Is that how those messages are sent? (I like to learn
something new everyday!)

Not if you use a mail merge. It's pretty painless.

It's one method among many, including third-party mass mailing tools.
