Simple Solution For Bcc Ditribution Lists

[ixie02]

I have a client that would like to use distribution lists in outlook express but requires the emails to be blind copy (doesn't want others to see who is on the list). I don't believe this is possible without copying and pasting into the Bcc field but have seen plugins for Outlook Pro somewhere that automate this proess. Does anyone know of a plugin or patch for outlook express that would enable this? If not, how about other automated simple solutions? I'd rather not use phplist or similar web based software as they would not have many members on the list and don't want add anymore email problems than I already have at VT. They would be mailing fairly simple newsletters with a few images. Perhaps a really cheap but dependable email list service would do, if there is such a thing.

if it's a list rather than individual contacts it shouldn't be a big deal for them, no harder than clicking the .bcc and adding the distribution list (which is the same number of clicks if they were not .bcc'ing anyway isn't it?)

Installed outlook express on my machine and tried it out and how could it be simpler? I have read a good many posts on BB's saying that outlook express is limiting the number of recipients, but imagine it's their isp's imposing the limits and not outlook.

Another source most forget about is anti-virus software that limits the number of simultaneous outgoing mail or mistakes it as a virus and blocks it - McAfee Active Virus Defense SMB does and I'm sure others do as well.

Interesting point. Will keep that in mind.
