I would like to thank those who responded to my original message:

fpardo@tisny.com (Frank Pardo)
Jim Harmon <jharmon@telecnnct.com>
Allan Wind <wind@atlassoft.com>

The solution was VERY simple, use the bcc option when sending the mail.
It worked quite well.

Thanks as usual!

Kurt :)

Here's the original message:
