Universal To using CC and BCC, ends up with 3 mails

[empresarrollo]

• Laravel Version: 5.4.26
• PHP Version: 7.0.2
• Database Driver & Version: MySQL 5.7.28

Description:

When using "Universal TO" in config/mail.php:

    'to' => [
        'address' => '[email protected]',
        'name' => 'Testing Dude'
    ],

and using MAIL_DRIVER=log, or smtp, or sparkpost, Laravel put your "universal to" also on the CC and BCC fields of the email. Then you end up with 3 copies of the same mail.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. php artisan make:notification InvoicePaid --markdown=mail.invoice.paid
2. create view for mail.invoice.paid
3. modifiy toMail() in InvoicePaid: return (new MailMessage)->subject('Invoice Paid')->markdown('mail.invoice.paid');
4. $user = App\User->create(...........)
5. $user->notify((new InvoicePaid($invoice));

using MAIL_DRIVER=log you would see the folowing in laravel.log:

[2017-07-14 17:31:12] local.DEBUG: Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2017 17:31:12 -0300
Subject: Invoice Paid
From: MyApp <[email protected]>
To: Testing Dude <[email protected]>
Cc: Testing Dude <[email protected]>
Bcc: Testing Dude <[email protected]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

with log everything is OK, but if you use smtp or sparkpost to test the emails you and up with triple the mails.

Setting a global to in your config will override any other mail address already set before. According to the code you should only use this for local development.

        // If a global "to" address has been set, we will set that address on the mail
        // message. This is primarily useful during local development in which each
        // message should be delivered into a single mail address for inspection.
        if (isset($this->to['address'])) {
            $this->setGlobalTo($message);
        }

Yeah, I'm using for development, and testing that sparkpost works ok. But setting to also put that address in CC and BCC (although I'm not using that).
