# Email Recipient Validation & Smarter Auto-Reply Detection

CC and BCC recipients are now validated, and auto-replies skip do-not-reply addresses, so your emails land where they should.

### Validate CC and BCC Recipients

You can now add up to five CC or BCC recipients on an email, with validation to catch bad addresses before they go out.

### Smarter Auto-Reply Detection

We’ve improved detection of “do-not-reply” email addresses so ThriveDesk won’t send automatic replies to them. That’s fewer responses bouncing into a dead inbox.

### Improvements

-   Better validation logic for handling recipients in CC and BCC fields.

### Bug Fixes

-   Removed unnecessary GitHub webhook logs.
-   Fixed GitHub workflow failure that affected production stability.
-   Fixed an issue where the saved reply list was not updating properly.
