Isn't that what bcc: was invented for? Who sends out a mass email with 13,000 listed recipients in the first place?

  Easy: Unintentionally subscribe an e-mail list to another e-mail list at Amazon. And unintetionally press reply all to unsubscribe...

  Isn't that what bcc: was invented for? Yes. I recently had to explain that to my bank. Now I have the names and email addresses of all my fellow customers of the bank.

  Given the existence of bcc, this is as much a sysadmin failure as it is a tech illiteracy failure. This mail should have been bounced by the outgoing SMTP server.

  > Isn't that what bcc: was invented for? Meta question: How many folks, or at what age cut-off, know what the "CC" stands for? And how many know where the 'carbon copy' term comes from? For those that don't know: > A sheet of carbon paper is placed between two or more sheets of paper. The pressure applied by the writing implement (pen, pencil, typewriter or impact printer) to the top sheet causes pigment from the carbon paper to reproduce the similar mark on the copy sheet(s). More than one copy can be made by stacking several sheets with carbon paper between each pair. Four or five copies is a practical limit. The top sheet is the original and each of the additional sheets is called a carbon copy. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_copy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_copy

  No, not for internal traffic. If I receive an email because it's part of a mailing list it should be in 'To' or in 'Cc'. Otherwise I have no way of filtering out the email based on its origin.
