How to send an email to undisclosed recipients
This may seem pretty straightforward to other people but I figured if I needed to look it up maybe someone else needs the info as well.

These steps don't seem to work when you have Outlook 2007 and Exchange. The "undisclosed recipients" automatically resolves to your e-mail address and that's what shows up to the real recipient(s). It sort of loses its flair when the "undisclosed recipients" doesn't make the cut.
The "undisclosed recipients" should automatically resolve to your email address because that's what you added to the line. The goal is for your recipients not to be able to see each other; not to hide yourself.
I'm sorry that this process didn't get you what you needed. Hopefully you can find something that can.
Oh, if that was the goal, you can just leave the To: line totally blank. Outlook will send to the BCC'd members just fine and display a blank To: line.
If you leave the To: line blank, some email providers will mark it as spam. We want to avoid this as much as possible.
to avoid Outlook's resolving your name, create a contact for your different email account. Example:
Full Name: Undisclosed recipients
File as: Undisclosed recipients
Email: someone@gmail.com
Display as: Undisclosed recipients
Save and close.
