Hi,
I normally put my own mail address as the To address, so I send the mail to
myself, BCC to the list then I know that the server has sent the list and
the recipients can reply if necessary. You can add a dummy address as the
'to' as you suggest if you wish to.
You can use the style 'Fred Bloggsfreddyboy@whatever.com' to have a
'friendly name appear as well as the actual email address. this is only
useful in the to, from and possibly CC lists.
Cheers
Ron
