group do be changed with name of the members of the group, can i do it?

I am not sure what you are trying to ask can you please rewrite your email
and also let us know what version you are using. I believe though what may
address what you need is creating a distribution list and then creating a
display name for that distribution list.

Hi,

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking how to send email to multiple recipients without disclosing the list of people the email is being sent to, is that correct?

If so, you can do this by using the BCC field in Outlook. Please refer to the following Knowledge Base article for more information.

i've a group named "admins" if i send a message to this group, the
ricipents opening the mail see in field "a" the names of all the people
in the group an not the name of the group.
I would recipients see the name of the group in the field "a" and not
the name of the persons in the group

There is no such thing named "groups" in Contacts. Perhaps you mean
"Distribution Lists". If so, and you have a DL named "X" and want your
recipients to see "X" in the To field, create a contact, also named "X",
whose address is your own and put it in the To field while putting the DL
named "X" in the Bcc field.

Scott apparently missed that part of your request. To accomplish that, you'd have to put the "admins" distribution list (remember, as Brian pointed out, Outlook has no personal "groups") in the Bcc field of your message and some address with the display name of "admins" in the To field.
