Tim Ruppert commented on OFBIZ-3379:
------------------------------------
Ruth, read the comment above. It's from a senior engineer at one of the top
hosting companies in the country - in response to a problem that has been
reported by a customer who's really using OFBiz. Customers need to ALWAYS get
their correspondence - especially for sales - regardless of what email address
the customer puts in.
This does not mean that we shouldn't look at a better way of tracking what
happens with the To and CCs - because those are visible to everyone that is
receiving the email. BCCs are not and should be treated differently - with
multiple connections.

> Typically BCCs are handled via the sending mail client. That is, when the
> client sees a BCC in an email, it will open up two connections to the mail
> server, the first for the To/CC fields, the second for BCC fields, this way
> the addresses are masked from the headers and there is that layer of
> anonymity that BCC is used for.
> What appears to be happening is that OFBiz is sending all of the information
> in one connection to the mail server and having the mail server sort out the
> details. So when sendTo encountering an invalid email, and then terminating
> the remaining execution of the outgoing process and no email sent to BCC
> address which is usually going to be a valid address from email settings for
> the company.
> To fix the issue, we need to send this via two connection to mail client.
