The Role of the Bcc Field

The Bcc field in an email client enables you to send an email to anyone, while displaying someone else’s email ID in the To: field. Suppose you want to send a Happy Easter email to several people. Instead of writing a personal email to each person, you could send all of them an Easter greeting by putting their names in the Bcc field and addressing the mail to yourself.

When these recipients open the email, they’ll only see the email ID as specified in the To: field. But if they save it all the enclosed addresses are saved to.

Enable the Bcc Field

To use the Bcc field, you need to first enable it. In the email program, locate the Bcc link.

Sending a Mass Mail:

The Bcc field is commonly used by Spammers. If you receive Spam emails, check the To field. If it doesn’t contain your email ID, then the Spammer has put your email address in the Bcc field. Spammers and viruses scan for email addresses, in an attempt to spread their garbage.

So in short do not use the Bcc facility, and then this restricts the spammers source of E-mail addresses.
