Sometime last night I realised my previous answer was bogus. Whether or not you use Bcc does not change anything wrt. the amount of data transferred. You send the mail like this: sendmail -oi <rcp#1> ...<rcp#999> <<XXX . . . . . . . XXX Any <rcp> not listed in the 'To:' header is a Bcc address. Your MTA couldn't care less whether you've got 'To:' addresses or not, so the email is transferred in the same manner with them or without. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
