Comment on Is there an obvious technical reason why the major email services (Outlook, gmail, etc) can't seem to limit recipients' from Replying-All?

  I use BCC semi-frequently at work because it prevents all kinds of (mostly unintentional) annoyances from my coworkers. Mostly with automated emails related to reports and/or our case management system. BCC is your best friend when used selectively.

    Just don’t use it for mass mailing external addresses. That’ll get you on a blacklist faster than you’d think.

      What do you mean by this?

        Putting a bunch of recipients in bcc to send out mass mail is what spammers do.
        So if you also do this, you’ll look like a spammer.
        This may lead to your emails getting rejected by various mail servers in the future.

    My favorite thing is when I notice the chain is emailing people who don’t need to see it and Reply All after moving them to BCC (I add a note saying “moved X to BCC” for transparency.

    People love me :-)

      At my office people tend to go way overboard with the number of CCs. I understand the need for communication and coordination on some things. But so much of it is just unnecessary-reflexive CYA and dilution of responsibility.

  I just get users messaging me to ask “is this spam?” since there’s no one in the To: section or they weren’t in the CC or To section.

  But I still do it to avoid this type of crap.

    You can put in the first line of your message body:

    <group of people> in bcc
