I have been receiving mails from someone, but I couldn't find my email
address. I suppose it was kept in BCC field.
Is there a way to detect the BCC field and find out whose email addresses
were kept in this field ??

I would really appreciate for any ideas regarding this.

Thank you

Sincerely,

Ujjwal Tuladhar

You can't find out who the other BCC recipients were. If you could, BCC
would be pointless.

A couple of thoughts. One, the spammers are great for doing this. Second, if
you know the "someone," you could reply and ask. My guess is that if the
sender wanted you to know, they would have not used the Bcc... A lot of
folks (3,300) give me their e-mail address with the understanding that I
will always use the Bcc.

Yes that's true, I agree with you all, but ..... :( someone is freaking me
out by sending the mails, and wanted to know how many are included in it.
BCC should never have been created .[Just a thought]

Well, do you know who it is who is "freaking you out"? If not, you can
check the message headers to find the originating IP address.

BCC is great to protect privacy, but of course it can be abused.
