Is it possible to just send to recipients via BCC without putting in a To
address? I though previously you always needed a To address.

TIA

Try it, see what your ISP's spam filters do with it?
Put your address in 'To'?

Some ISPs will put the BCC addresses in the To field if the To field is
empty.

The To, Cc, Bcc, and Subject headers are optional (since they are NOT used
to specify the recipients as that is performed by the RCPT-TO command that
the client sends to the server which can come from anywhere, including
outside the mail, as with bulk mailers). Those headers may appear zero or
one times. If an e-mail client demands that the To header not be empty (but
at least one recipient was specified in another header) then that e-mail
client is not RFC compliant. Well, you are using a Microsoft product.

Depends on your ISP. EarthLink will not allow a message to be sent
without an address in the To field, using Outlook Express.
