Hide the rest of the recipients from each other

[scoppc]

I have a simple newsletter application written in PHP. It works roughly in the following step:

1. Get all users' email address from a table and store em in an array
2. Glue em all using "," (implode function)
3. send the news using mail function

Now, since the email is sent to multiple recipients at once, each of them will be able to see the email addresses of others (of course, in TO field).
Hence, if I am one of the recipients, I'll be able to know the list of email addresses that receive this newsletter too!

How can I prevent this from happening?

Hi

In order to hide the recipients use the bcc option in the headers

here are the headers i use

$to = " recipient";
$subject ="subject";
$headers ="From: $client_email\r\nReply-To: anemailaddress\r\nBcc: anotheremailaddress";

$mail_body = "message"

then do the following

mail($to,$subject,$mail_body,$headers);

Ok, I got it. Should I use a fake email address for TO field and the list of email addresses in BCC?? coz, both are having the same function, rite?
