Only bcc

[siscia]

Hi,

what if I what/need send only to bcc, without any "to" ?

it is possible ?

It should...

I'm hesitant to support this because I dislike it so much, but you're correct that it's a staple of SMTP behavior. Let me think about it.

[siscia]

Well if you have any web service you may want to send the same email to thousand of people, it is just a better idea to just send one email with a thousand of bcc than a thousand of email with a single address...

Normally you get around that by supplying a dummy To: address.

[siscia]

Yeah, but I just don't like the idea... By the way the thousand of user will see the dummy To: address...

It is just not very elegant IMO

I didn't read my own code carefully enough. After adding a test for this behavior I realized it already works. Behold, this should do exactly what you'd expect:

{:from "foo@bar.dom"
 :bcc "baz@bar.dom"
 :subject "Test"
 :body "Only Bcc!!"})

I did actually try it... And didn't work, I tried now again and it work...

Sorry I guess I had made some mistake the first time I tried then...

I feel dumb... Sorry...

No problem! I should have verified earlier.
