Re: Can not view BCC receipents in sent items folder

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Recipients are listed both individually and personal distribution lists.

The number of recipients limit is set on our Exchange 2003 SP2 server is 5000.

No the mass mailing user is not using mailmerge or any other utility to
generate the emails.

There isn't a problem sending out the emails. The emails are being sent and
it has been verified that they have been delivered to the intended
recipients. Just the receipient list isn't being shown in the BCC field in
the sent items folder when the email is opened.

We are using Antigen on the Exchange servers. No client side anti-virus is
being used to i interrogate email.

All fields on the emails shown in the Sent Items folder in which the BCC
field is empty also have the To and CC fields empty.

I have a client that sends out mass mailings for various reasons. On some
emails in his sent items folder he is able to see the receipients names, on
others he can not. Why would you not be able to see the receipients in some
emails but not in others?

Bcc is not shown in the Preview pane. Open the message (double-click on
it) so it is shown in its own window. The Bcc field should appear in
that window. If not, use the View menu to select showing the Bcc field.

Both the emails in question, those with the bcc field showing receipients
and those that are not showing the receipients in the bcc field are being
opened in their own window. The BCC is already set to show.

And WHAT is this "client" using to send out his mass mailings?

If no recipients are listed in the Bcc field then the Bcc field was not
populated when Outlook sent the e-mail. But did Outlook send the e-mail
or something else involved in these mass mailings?

He is using Outlook (11.8217.8221) SP3. He is using Outlook to send out all
mailings the fields are populated when the emails in question (those that
don't show the BCC receipients when displaying them in their own window).
This was verified by going to a few of the intended recepients desks to
verify that the email was recieved. So, the BCC field was populated when the
email was sent.

Are all the recipients listed individually in the Bcc field?

Or is a distribution list being used in which all the recipients are
specified? There is a limit to the number of recipients in a
distribution list but I don't recall what it is, plus I think the limit
is when using Exchange as the mail server due to the max number of bytes
allowed in the total number of recipients (whereas Outlook used with
SMTP doesn't have this limit).

Is the mass mailing user using MailMerge or some other utility to
generate the mailings (that then go through Outlook)?

If an add-on isn't being employed for the mail mailings, can they be
sent out with Outlook loaded in its safe mode ("outlook.exe /safe")?
This eliminates anomalies created by add-ons which do not get loaded in
Outlook's safe mode.

What security software is installed on this user's host that
interrogates the e-mail traffic (anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spam,
etc.)?

In the e-mails shown in the Sent Items folder for which their Bcc field
is empty, are all the other fields (To and Cc) also empty?
