Emailing Members

How about a modification to allow the administrator to email the members via blind cc instead of the email addresses in full view of all the other recipients?  

At this point, to protect the privacy of everyone, I have to copy and paste the email addresses all into my email program's bcc slot before sending out my messages to the members.

Or did someone already do this mod and I'm missing it?

I've not sent a message to my members in a month or two but I never had the problem of it showing the email addresses.  From what I understand, it loops through the list of email addresses and generates an email seperately for each one.  This of course causes things to be a little slower on large lists.  Other people here have complained about their emailings timing out.  It has been discussed elsewhere that we make use of the Bcc and group members into fewer emails sent but I think that has not been created.

Very strange.  I've done a test on my test board and none of the emails that were sent show any one elses email address.  Curious why yours does.

I had that problem once, that everyone's addresses appeard, but haven't had it since.  However, I have another problem.  My server has a strict no spamming policy which regards any messages sent to more than one person to be spam, and threatens to shut me down.  Has anyone esle experienced this?  They do allow majordomo mail lists, however, so I just made a domo list of all my members, and send to that address.
