That's not correct, Trevor. The server doesn't care about the contents of the 
mail body, part of which the "To" field actually is. To satisfy SMTP 
requirements, we just have to give a valid recipient in the SMTP envelope 
("RCPT TO:") but there are many mail clients which support some kind of 
"undisclosed recipients" and that's what I also already asked for :) ...

You now may ask whom we should add as the dummy recipient. Well ... I don't 
think anyone has a problem is this is the own address (in the envelope) but the 
interesting thing is that this is not visible in the "To" field.

Regards
