I haven’t been able to find any information about this online, so I’m posting it here.

I’ve been receiving emails TO addresses like @icloud.com.

I’ve checked all my hide-my-email aliases (including the archived ones) and I don’t own these addresses so I cannot disable them.

I’m wondering if anyone else has run into this issue?

    A bcc is a Blind Carbon Copy - so it means that anyone in that field is an invisible recipient.

    So i send an email with the following addresses

    To: [email protected].
    Bcc: five billion other addresses

    Due to how the BCC field obscures email addresses written i it, any recipients will only see the email address in the To field - their own is hidden. So it looks like you’re receiving an email addressed to someone else
