When an email is processed by the Mail Transfer Agent (MTA), the address information in the 'Bcc' header is stripped from the copy sent to the primary recipients ('To' and 'Cc'). The MTA ensures that while the BCC recipient receives the message, their address remains invisible in the email headers of other recipients. This maintains privacy and prevents unintended 'Reply All' loops.
BCC is primarily used for privacy protection in mass communications.
Recipients in the BCC field cannot see other BCC recipients.
BCC recipients can see the 'To' and 'Cc' recipients.
Avoids exposing large mailing lists to all participants.
Protects recipient privacy by hiding email addresses.
Reduces the risk of inadvertent 'Reply All' spam.
Useful for professional communication to track correspondence without publicizing the CC list.
If a BCC recipient clicks 'Reply All', their response is sent only to the sender, but they cannot see others.
Some spam filters may flag emails with excessive BCC recipients as potential junk mail.
Sending newsletters to a large group of people.
Communicating sensitive internal information to multiple parties discreetly.
