BCC does not work

+1 vote

Good day,

I am using Mail.dll email library version 3.0.24030.1216, Bcc recipients do not receive emails, is this a known bug, or what am I doing incorrectly

Below is a snippet

        MailBuilder builder = new MailBuilder();
        builder.Bcc.Add(new MailBox("bcc@example.com", ""));
        IMail email = builder.Create();
        ISendMessageResult result = smtp.SendMessage(email);

Here are the logs:

Examining the logs shows that Mail.dll client behaves properly: Two 'RCPT TO' commands are issued.

I double checked this with all gmail addresses and email is delivered correctly to both addresses (to and bcc).

I assume that your server (example.com in the logs) is simply rejecting the message, or treats it as spam.

One thing that stands out is that you are using empty mailbox name, which is a bit problematic - consider not setting the name or use a non-empty one.
