Here's how I'm calling qmail-inject:
$mail_prog = '/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject';
$mail = "To: $to_name <$to_email>\r\n";
$mail .= "From: $from_name <$from_email>\r\n";
if ($bcc) {
$mail .= "Bcc: $bcc \r\n";
}
$mail .= "Subject: $subject\r\n\r\n";
$mail .= "$body\r\n";
system ("echo '$mail' | $mail_prog");
The Bccs are in the header but they're still being inserted into the command
line which is what I meant by "more or less". I actually don't really see
another way of getting all the bccs to qmail-inject.

Do you mean these address are on the command line or in the headers of
the message? The difference is a lot more than "more or less". In fact
the difference is critical. If the latter then you have a different
problem from what I suggested. If the former, then change to the
latter as that's the best way as you cannot normally increase the
command line limits without kernel rebuilds.
