Prevent people from hitting Reply to All
Windows Rights Management Services provide some great features that control and restrict the way that information moves around and between organisations. But if you haven't got this cool technology you can still disable the most abused feature in Outlook: the dreaded Reply to All button!
Next time you need to send out an email to a distribution list or lots of individual email addresses you can prevent recipients from pressing the Reply to All (and/or Forward) buttons and deluging everyone on your distribution list with even more unwanted emails. You can do this with custom forms and there's a really neat tutorial here: https://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/assistance/HA011142241033.aspx. Tell all your friends!

BUT BCC makes separate copies of the message for everyone, hence over-loading your store with what are effectively "duplicate" messages.
Also BCC does not allow people to see who else received the message, so they might forward it on thinking these people haven't received the information.
