OCS version 2.3.3.1
Steps followed to replicate problem:
Conference Manager > Under Roles
Select Authors > click on button 'select all'
click on button 'send email' > email template with addresses being 'bcc' appears
- no information is in the 'To:' field
Group that was emailed: 25 authors at a time.
Tested the system by:
1. Sending only to Bcc authors, no information within the 'To:' field >> email did not arrived
2. Sending with a To: field >> email was only sent to the To address
3. Retyped the Bcc addresses >> email was sent to the Bcc entries.
Conclusion:
System is importing the email addresses in the Bcc fields, but when sending the email->> send email >> the system doesn't recognise the addresses and ignores them entirely.
Is this a bug? I would appreciate any feedback in this regard.

Hi trudie,
It may not be a bug. What Mail transfer agent is your server using? Sendmail? postfix? something else? Some MTAs are picky about allowing the delivery of emails with no To: addresses in the header. This is the reason why a lot of folks who BCC many people often send themselves a copy in the To: field.
It may be a mail server setting that can be changed.
Regards,
Jason

Dear Jason,
Please see above point 2, we have tested the email with a To field which inturn only sent the email to TO: Our mail server is sendmail.
I therefor can confirm it not to be a mail server setting, is their anyway that you can test it from your end?
