Hi,

I am sending an email using SMTP from my ASP.Net application.

The sending is working fine but I want to send a different body for recipients in TO, CC and BCC.

Please let me know if it is possible and how it can be achieved.

Thanks in advance.

This is not possible. You would need to send separate mails for to, cc and bcc.

If I would send separate email then the to recipients do not get to see the cc & bcc recipients. How can this be resolved.

Sorry you can't send seperate body text to "To", "CC" "BCC" since all these properties are pointing to single mail object which has single property called "mailbody".

This isn't possible, by design. A single message can be sent to different recipients, and using BCC will hide addresses from the rest of the recipients, but each message will be sent to all recipients in the list.

If you want to make the messages sent to each unique class of recipient different, you'll need to create three different messages, one each for the TO, CC, and BCC recipients. Doing so creates a little extra burden for the email host, but it will probably be unnoticeable.

At first: The "bcc" recipiens can't be seen in either way. That's why it's called "blind carbon copy".

If you want to let the "to" recipients know that you send a mail with a different body to the "cc" group, you would need to add this information to the mail body.

I think you really should not work with "to", "cc" and "bcc". Just add the information to the body of your mail.
