Edit the List of Recipients Before Sending

Does is happen sometimes that you send an email to a recipient you don't want to send to? For instance, sometimes Outlook sends an email to yourself when you hit the 'Reply All' button.

This VBA example checks the list of recipients before sending, and it removes certain addresses from it.

Just copy the line of code starting with 'RemoveThis.Add...' as many times as you need it, and enter the addresses you never want to send an email to.

Private Sub RemoveRecipients(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
  Dim RemoveThis As VBA.Collection
  Dim Recipients As Outlook.Recipients
  Dim R As Outlook.Recipient
  Dim i&, y&
  Set RemoveThis = New VBA.Collection

  ' add addresses here
  RemoveThis.Add "abc@domain.de"
  RemoveThis.Add "test@domain.com"

  Set Recipients = Item.Recipients
  For i = Recipients.Count To 1 Step -1
    Set R = Recipients.Item(i)

    For y = 1 To RemoveThis.Count
      If LCase$(R.Address) = LCase$(RemoveThis(y)) Then
        Recipients.Remove i
        Exit For
      End If
    Next
  Next
End Sub

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
  On Error Resume Next
  RemoveRecipients Item
End Sub
