Is their any way to send email via the Mandrill API which contain multiple BCC address? Mandrill API documentation displays only a single bcc_address in their API. So is it not possible send email which contain multiple BCC addresses?

Yup totally doable! According to the Mandrill API send documentation, you can specify multiple addresses in the to field, and mark them as type bcc.

Here's an example:

{
   "to":[
      {
         "email":"recipient.email@example.com",
         "name":"Recipient Name",
         "type":"to"
      },
      {
         "email":"bcc.recipient.email.1@example.com",
         "name":"BCC Recipient Name 1",
         "type":"bcc"
      },
      {
         "email":"bcc.recipient.email.2@example.com",
         "name":"BCC Recipient Name 2",
         "type":"bcc"
      }
   ]
}

Hope this helps.

Also make sure you're passing the value "preserve_recipients": true under the message section.

  • Did you tested this really? It seems not working at all. I have tried several time and in the logs its not showing anything. –  Jan 14 '14 at 17:36

    I recently tested this and it works. However, I had to set "preserve_recipients":true for it to work like I expected. See the documentation. If you see no activity in the API log, you might want to check you are using the right API key and the right API URL. – angularsen Sep 03 '14 at 09:30

If you're trying to send an email to multiple users but don't want them to be able to see who you sent the email to, and not being able to "reply all", you can set preserveRecipients to false.
