You could use:
mail.addBcc( "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" );
...
Except that EasyMail doesn't have an "addBcc()" method. Since it is open
source, you could add that method and roll it back into the source.
Or, you could do this:
String[] addresses = new String[] { "[EMAIL PROTECTED]",
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" }
for ( int i = 0; i < addresses.length; i++ )
{
mail = MailPack.newEmailMessage( "smtpserver.itt.com" );
mail.setSender( "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" );
mail.addRecipient( addresses[i] );
mail.setSubject( "I am the walrus" );
mail.setContent( "Coo coo cachoo." );
mail.send();
}
That would of course put a heavier load on your SMTP server, but it may be
worth it because the messages will look a bit more normal.
