That is because currently the “groups” may better be called “peer groups”, or “recipient lists” or maybe “distribution rings/circles”, because they are based on simply placing all addresses in the `To:` field.

Withholding the address from other recipients may require introducing some degree of gate keeper positions, either in the form of support for [mailing list servers](https://support.delta.chat/t/predefined-groups-possible/341/7) and its administration, or introducing deltachat support for [BCC groups with distributeable admin positions](https://support.delta.chat/t/interesting-article-in-german-telecommunication-newsletter-showing-a-problem-in-dc/590/23)
