Click OK. You will find the user names separated by semicolon in the User account (user login) is field. To make changes in the list, repeat the steps 1 - 3.
Switch the Silent BCC for Outlook off for some recipients
In the Options tab, tick the Except if e-mail address in TO, or CC or BCC fields contains checkbox.
Click the button in the E-mail address in TO, or CC, or BCC contains field.
In the dialog box, enter the recipient's e-mail address or a part of the address that you want to exclude from the monitoring process, and click the Add button. A Bcc copy will not be sent if the specified address (or a part of the address) is in one of the following fields: To, CC or BCC.
If you want to add several e-mail addresses, enter them one by one, clicking the Add button each time:
The email addresses specified on step 3 are added to the List of addresses. To delete an address from the list, select it and click the Remove button.

I need a tool like silent BCC that works with outlook 2016. But I need it to be completely un-noticed.
I mean the sender must not know that auto-bcc is installed. Just like the way Silent BCC used to work with outlook 2010. Do you have a solution for that?
Thank you for contacting us. Please note we no longer sell and support single add-ins, but have included them all into Add-ins Collection for Outlook. Feel free to test out the AutoBCC tool, you can simply hide the add-in icon so that the employees cannot see or change the email BCC rules: https://www.ablebits.com/docs/outlook-auto-bcc/#hide-BCC-rules
Please take a look at our Auto BCC/CC. It works with Outlook 2013+. You can create a rule first and then hide Auto BCC by using the Administration tool.
If you have any other questions, please email us to support@ablebits.com. Thank you.
I am able to hide Auto BCC by using the Administration tool, but still the users able to turn off Auto Bcc function by using option button and uncheck the Auto BCC, would you please inform how to prevent users from switching off the Auto Bcc
