Do what? Send a BCC only email? If I want to send a general announcement to
a lot of unrelated people I will routinely put them all in the BCC field so
as not to distribute their email addresses to each other. Having your own
(or even a dud) mail address in the 'to' field makes you mail look more like
spam when it arrives.
