I have been an EMParrot user for some time. I use it for managing the email for my extended family. I have dozens of cousins, so EMParrot has been a great way to manage all the communications traffic. With this long list of participants, sending email used to be a challenge, with changing addresses, new members and the occasional user getting hacked and spamming everyone. Now, with the ability to contact anyone 1-on-1 through EMParrot, we can send personal messages without having to find specific addresses and without the worry of corrupt messages. I recommend EMParrot to anyone who has a long list of people to connect.

If you’ve ever hit “send” on a mass email only to realize the recipients’ addresses are glaring back in the To or CC field—instead of safely tucked in BCC—you know the sinking feeling.

Take the 2024 blunder at Loughborough University in the UK: A simple failure to use BCC in a bulk staff email exposed hundreds of addresses, sparking privacy complaints and a swift internal investigation.1 Stories like this aren’t rare—they’re warnings. Dismissing the risk as outdated naivety ignores how regulators worldwide are sharpening their enforcement, turning one careless click into a cascade of consequences.
