I tested this (in mailx) and spaces cause an error as follows: # mail -s 'test bcc' -b root , lab lab2 bcc test in progress. . Cc: Bcc: root No spaces, no error, as follows: # mail -s 'test bcc 2' -b root,lab lab2 bcc test 2 in progress. . Cc: Bcc: root lab You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root |The short answer is: maybe use -c multiple times instead, that > |worked already with BSD Mail 8.1[.1] from 1996-06-14. That works, as follows: # mail -s 'test bcc3' -b root -b lab lab2 bcc test 3 in progress. . Cc: Bcc: root lab You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root # Thanks for all your guidance.
