If it would have been obvious no request would have been made. 2.) I don't see any mention of OE, Pocomail or any other MUA in your OP, could you please enlighten us when those stepped in and what the realtion to your original question? To clear things out a bit: You tried to send a message to 7 recipients (T = To, B = BCC): 1.) T: you 2.) B: kid one 3.) B: kid two 4.) B: kid three 5.) B: wife 6.) B: you 7.) B: hotperamail account You recieve 4 messages: 1.) you (account 1) 2.) account 2 3.) account 3 4.) hotperamail account Question: have your kids all seperate accounts _AND_ mailboxes? Question: has your wife a seperate account _AND_ mailbox? To describe a bit more technical details: if you send the message it's not 7 messages sent but only one with 7 recipients. Now the mail server could strip "RCPT 1" and "RCPT 6" to be only one recipient, as the addresses are identically, that would make only 6 deliveries to be done instead of 7. That's far from 4, but explains one "lost" message. Than you wrote: > When send such an Email (to myself, BCC to the same group) there is no > problem. So ... if you send such a message you have problems, but if you send such an E-Mail you don't? Please make clear what this sentence should tell us. Next: have a look at the received messages, especially at their headers. Look for "Delivered-To" lines. Could be you get a hint to whom this particular message was delivered to by this header lines. "BCC" is only a visualization on senders side to whom the message is addressed albeit he/she is not mentioned in "To:" or "CC:", it's a "Meta-Information" that is interpreted from the server but than deleted from the e-mail before it gets delivered (else it wouldn't be a _BLIND_ carbon copy). So the only way to tell who was the recipient (in opposit to who's mentioned in To:) are the Delivered-To lines, if present. Only _that_ way you can figure out which recipient didn't get a copy. All in all I guess there's either something you did wrong while addressing the e-mail or the server you used to send ot the mail mixed up some things, I've _never_ had any problems with BCC in e-mails while using The Bat!. As I've never read somebody else has chances are low you stumbled over a bug in The Bat! handling BCC while sending the message; chances are high it would have been already reported. So either be clear and answer the questions people trying to help you ask, or solve the problem yourself. But you can spare responses as in the mail I'm replying to: "You should try harder" and "Anyone can see I meant" (mention: "ment", not "said" ... I'll take a look for my crystal ball for better seeing what soembody "meant" ...). -- Peter ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
