They send it to everyone on their lists once. However, apparently, it's possible to get on their lists more than once. With the number of addresses they have, and the fact that removing duplicates is an O(n^2) operation, I can understand why they do.
The biggest software company in the world that has written some of the most complex programs can't remove duplicate addresses from a list??? What's wrong with this picture. |
