i use thunderbird & i do not enter addresses in the ‘To’ field, only in the ‘bcc’ field. then thunderbird sends mail out with the ‘To’ field like this:
To: undisclosed-recipients

On several mail systems if there isn’t any address in the To field the receiving server will instantly flag this as spam on receive. This is why e-mail newsletters have a do-not-reply@this.site address (which is legitimate but doesn’t route anywhere) specifically to avoid that issue so you can whitelist the address. And on some ISPs if you don’t specify any address in the To field it will spit it back at you as undeliverable.

“Why do you have to put an e-mail address in the To field? Because it’s required, else the mail won’t send. There must be at least one address there, hence the reason you put in yours.”

I’ve been using BCC for years now, mainly due to this very subject. To me, an email address is like a phone number – I don’t have the right to hand over a personal phone number to someone so why should I do the same with emails?

Not sure when you used BCC last but for years I’ve never had to put anyone’s name in to ‘To’ field. I insert all the addresses required into the BCC field and click send. Not once have I used the ‘To’ field to copy myself into the email and every single time, without fail, the email has gone through. Not sure if this is a Gmail thing or whatever, but I’ve had Hotmail since ’97 (and I used to use Yahoo in the distant past) and I’ve always used BCC only without any other fields filled in.
