TO instead of BCC

  • Hi Mike

    I am using your great plugin on a number of wordpress sites. Some of them have a few hundred users, a couple have over 1,000.

    I have been getting blocked by AOL who send me spam reports via their feedback loop however it is impossible to identify the users as the headers only show the TO not the BCC.

    I tried setting the BCC limit to 1 but this of course meant I get 1000 copies of the email myself.

    Is there a way to send the email directly to the user without BCC or to include a line that says “You are receving this email too USERS EMAIL becuase you are registered at this site”?

    Thanks for your help.

    There really isn’t anyway to do this right now without modifying the plugin code. Most ISPs have some sort of process that you can file to have your email not flagged as spam. i had to do something similar with Time Warner RoadRunner for our swim team which also uses Email Users. You could try sending an email to AOL’s spam police and see if they can mark your sending address as “ok”.

    After the holidays are over I’ll see if I can add a setting to allow the recipients to appear in the “to” list although the risk of doing that is being flagged as spam increases significantly.

    Hi Mike

    That would be great if you do get any time. Obviously if they go in the To box then it will involve sending thousands of individual emails instead of one that is BCCd so I can understand why it is not the approach you took initially.

    I have tried contacting AOL too as they are the only ones who are blocking emails. I don’t expect too much help from them though! They send through spam reports via their feedback loop but they don’t tell you which member reported it so you can unsubsribe them. Data protection gone bonkers.

    Happy new year anyway.
