180988 2003-10-07 01:48:00 I am attempting to e-mail a number of contacts using to: Undisclosed recipient and then BCC to each of my clients.

This prevents a huge list of addresses being sighted

However Netscape Communicator is now returning the following message when I go to send:

"Only one recipient accepted with null sender address. Please check the message recipient
and try again"

Netscape help (?) files are not helpful. Obviously I am doing something wrong!!!

Help please

OE will not send an email until the offending address is corrected or removed so if you do that Netscape will probably then do the job.

180990 2003-10-07 02:11:00 Thats interesting .

What I believe is happening, is that 1 (or more) of your e-mail addresses in the BCC field is potentially incorrect, no longer registered, or is rejecting your e-mail for some reason .

Due to the all to common practice of people now "bouncing" spam e-mails back to the sender, there has been a change to many ISP methods of handling the problem . It seems they will only allow an e-mail that is bounced to have 1 recipient, otherwise there is a game of table tennis as it bounces back and forth .

Perhaps this is built into some e-mail client software as well, as you indicate that its not even being sent? Thats the strange part .

I do applaud your use of the BCC though . Good luck, and post back if you find the source of the problem .

180991 2003-10-07 02:35:00 Some mail servers will reject mail to multiple BCC recipients if the To field is left blank.
If it is left blank it adds Undisclosed Recepients in the To field

Try putting your own address in the To field so it is addressed to you..
