You won't... it's Blind Carbon Copy so it gets used by the sending mailserver and is then stripped.

Good Afternoon Experts,<br />
<br />
I'm wondering why one of my users is receiving spam e-mail messages that appear to be addressed to another user with a similar name? &nbsp;Gerri.jones@mydomain.com has received about 5 or 6 messages of late (all spam) that all appear to be addressed to Geri.smith@mydomain.com. &nbsp;Both are valid e-mail addresses on our Exchange 2000 Server.<br />
<br />
Gerri Jones is concerned that the mail system is delivering mail intended for Geri Smith by mistake. &nbsp;I'm not convinced that there is a problem with our mail server and think that this may be a known symptom of spam.<br />
<br />
Can anyone shed some light on this matter? &nbsp;Is this a known feature of spam or is our mail server delivering mail to the wrong user. &nbsp;Notice that neither user has reported a problem with legitimate mail being misrouted.<br />
<br />
thanks for your assistance
