On occasion I need to send out emails to my sites members. In order to process faster I don't want to loop through the
user list and send one message for each, I'd rather add all the users' email addresses to the address list and do one
send. Since I don't have the address list in my email server I was wondering how you suppress the address list so that
every recipient doesn't get the email addresses of all teh other recipients. I don't even know if this is a client or
server side function. If it's client side I expect that that I'll have to get a third party assembly because the
system.web.mail.message class doesn't appear to have a way to suppress the address list. Anyone know how to do this?

Add the recipients as Bcc rather than To or Cc.

Be aware that you see this mostly used in spam applications, so is probably
one of the first things to look for by spamfilters.

No, there are plenty of other uses for Bcc, including mailing lists, so
any spam filter which is particularly sensitive to uses of it are going
to be useless. (Don't forget that the recipient doesn't even see that
there's a Bcc list - they just see that they're not directly in the
To/Cc list.)
