So although the mail client says it was received by @icloud.com. When inspecting all the headers, I do notice my email popping up in there under
Received:fields (I'm not posting the details for privacy reasons).I'm not sure why my email client shows me a weird receiver email. But at least now I know what address is getting spammed!
Cheers!
Strictly speaking, mail clients can’t show the BCC field — technically they don’t exist on the receiving server, the receiving server only knows what address (yours) to be delivered to — so they only display the typical From, To, and CC fields. It’s one of those quirks of email standard and client implementations, I guess.
