That looks like it should work. In fact I typed in your code, with some
email addresses of mine and another smtp server, and it does work.
That's to say, I can see in the logs of my smtp server that three mails
are sent out, and I see the mails arriving at the to-address and the
cc-address. The bcc-addres doesn't seem to receive the mail reliably:
sometimes not at all, sometimes in the spam folder. It looks like mail
systems don't like bcc very much. As far as I can see the code is
correct, and there is a good chance the problem is caused by a mail
server not accepting one or more of the messages for some reason.
I added some content to the mail, and that seemed to work better.
So, some suggestions:
- Do you have access to the smtp server to check its logs and see what
is sent, what is not sent, and any possible error messages?
- Try adding some content to the email, something which looks nothing
like spam.
