Multiple bcc recipients

[Erica]

This has been hanging over my head for months, so I hope it's not
something silly.

I've created a Perl script where I have to send an email with multiple
bcc's via sendmail. If I have one bcc recipient the script works, but
with more than one no messages get sent to any of the bcc recipients
though the message gets to the real recipient just fine. Also, if I
copy and paste the same headers into sendmail run from the command
line that I created with the script, that works fine too.

Here's the salient part of the script:

$sendmail = 'path_to_sendmail/sendmail'
$bcc = 'Bcc: xx**@yyyyy.com, ww***@vvvv.com, zz***@ttttt.com';
$email = $debug ? $debug_email : $hash{'eMail'};
$from = 'u*@ourselves.com';
$subject = 'You and your poodle';
$text = 'blah blah blah';
open MAIL, "|$sendmail $email"
or die "Unable to start sendmail:$!\n";
print MAIL "From: $from\nBcc:$bcc\nSubject:$subject\n$text";
close MAIL;

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Erica

You seem to sending:

Bcc: Bcc: xx**@yyyyy.com, etc.

and 'Bcc: xx**@yyyyy.com' is problably not a valid address.
