BCC-Mailing (Blind Carbon Copy)

In most cases, you should not use this option.

Without this option, BulkMailer sends every mail one by one. No recipient will se the other recipient's addresses.

The BCC Option was designed for the special task, when you need to send large file attachments to a large list of recipients.

With the BCC mode, BulkMailer devides every 50 addreses into a single BCC mail. This is the same, as if you address an email to yourself and drag 50 recipients into the BCC field, using a standard mail client.

But the BCC mode has two main disadvantages:

  • Personalization such as database fields, personal salutation etc. cannot be sent because the same email goes to many recipients.
  • You might run into traffic based Spam-Filters, when sending a larger amount of BCC mails.

To specify the block size, see "Options->BCC".
