Some mails even have only my address in the 'to' field. but i think they
are sending to large group of peole...
Appreciate any help any enlightenment... :)
from this fish
I did this once..mimos replied to me...they managed to trace the
intermediate ISPs that the email passed thru. Also, they found the uplink
ISP. Mimos sent request to that ISP so that they can take action against the
company, and also forwarded the request to me...as to prove that they're
doing things..

but what I want to know is how they do that. the emails I received are not
necessarily from spammers. eg. I received regular update from Microsoft
Technet but I notice that there is only my email address in the 'to' field.
then how do they send to so many people at one time?

They send one by one(?) Each individual e-mail would after all entail
a connection to each of the respective receivers' mail exchange
server.

BCC?

Like I said, you can put anything in the TO field,
so actually you still need to specify those email
addresses you want to send to, but not in the TO
field as what you always did in Outlook Express,
or popular email clients.
Try to refer to some groupwares (especially those
allow you to send mails to a bunch of people one
shot). I used to use one, but I forgot the name
already since long time I didn't touch this type
of things.
A search in www.winfiles.com or
http://tucows.joc.com.my will probably get you
to those files.

I saw HammerNg's explanation.
If you look at the smtp protocol, you will find that the To: field in
the e-mail headers can be anything; it doesn't need to be the actual
destination e-mail address. It's the RCPT command that identifies the
recipient.
You can get more info from :-
