echo "Message was not sent";
}
else
echo "mail sent";

Answer 1

Use as
$mailer->AddBCC("foo#gmail.com", "test");
$mailer->AddCC("something#gmail.com", "bla");

Answer 2

You never see BCC details. That's what they are BCC details for. Even the recipient of a BCC will not see his own name with the recipients.
PS: You noticed you wrote addBCC instead of AddBCC (capital A)?

Answer 3

From the phpMailer function reference:
Adds a "Bcc" address. Note: this function works with the SMTP mailer on win32, not with the "mail" mailer.
This might be causing your issue.

Answer 4

PHPMailer not sending CC or BCC
Old question, but I ended up here looking for an answer. Just learned elsewhere that those functions AddCC and AddBCC only work with win32 SMTP
Try using:
$mail->addCustomHeader("BCC: mybccaddress#mydomain.com");
See http://phpmailer.worxware.com/?pg=methods
Hope this helps someone, cheers!

Answer 5

It´s addBCC
$email->addBCC('my#email.com', 'My Name');
See PHPMailer.php (current version 6.0.5) on line 934 (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/blob/master/src/PHPMailer.php#L934):
/**
* Add a "BCC" address.
*
* #param string $address The email address to send to
* #param string $name
*
* #return bool true on success, false if address already used or invalid in some way
*/
public function addBCC($address, $name = '')
{
return $this->addOrEnqueueAnAddress('bcc', $address, $name);
}

Answer 6

the bcc will never show; only TO and CC
BCC=Blind Carbon Copy

Here is a working example from the newest release, and on Office 365, I use it to send email from shared folders...
<?
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
require_once('./phpmailer/Exception.php');
require_once('./phpmailer/PHPMailer.php');
require_once('./phpmailer/SMTP.php');
//* Working Example As Of 09/21/2019 - Sends From Shared Mailbox With Mailbox Member
function SendO365EmailTLS($options)
{
$from = isset($options['from']) ? $options['from'] : false;
$recipients = isset($options['recipients']) ? $options['recipients'] : false;
$ccRecipeints = isset($options['ccrecipients']) ? $options['ccrecipients'] : [];
$bccRecipients = isset($options['bccrecipients']) ? $options['bccrecipients'] : [];
$attachments = isset($options['attachments']) ? $options['attachments'] : [];
$credentials = isset($options['credentials']) ? $options['credentials'] : false;
$subject = isset($options['subject']) ? $options['subject'] : '';
$body = isset($options['body']) ? $options['body'] : '';
if(!$from) throw new Exception('Cannot send email with blank \'from\' field');
if(!$recipients) throw new Exception('Cannot send email, no recipients specified!');
if(!$credentials) throw new Exception('Cannot send email, credentials not provided!');
$mail = new PHPMailer;
foreach($recipients as $recipient) $mail->addAddress( $recipient[ 'email'], $recipient['name']);
foreach($ccRecipeints as $ccRecipient) $mail->addCC( $ccRecipient[ 'email'], $ccRecipient['name']);
foreach($bccRecipients as $bccRecipient) $mail->addBCC( $bccRecipient['email'],$bccRecipient['name']);
foreach($attachments as $attachment) $mail->addAttachment($attachment[ 'path' ], $attachment['name']);
$mail->setFrom($from['email'], $from['name']);
$mail->Username = $credentials['username'];
$mail->Password = $credentials['password'];
$mail->Host = 'smtp.office365.com';
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->isSMTP();
$success = $mail->send();
return $success;
}
// $options = ['from'=> ['email'=>'', 'name'=>''],
// 'recipients'=> [['email'=>'', 'name'=>'']],
// 'ccrecipients'=> [['email'=>'', 'name'=>'']],
// 'bccrecipients'=>[['email'=>'', 'name'=>'']],
// 'attachments'=> [['path'=>'./attachments/file1.jpg','name'=>'1.jpg'],
// ['path'=>'./attachments/file2.jpg','name'=>'2.jpg'],
// ['path'=>'./attachments/file3.jpg','name'=>'3.jpg']],
// 'credentials'=> ['username'=>'','password'=>''],
// 'subject'=> 'Email Subject Line',
// 'body'=> '<h1>Email Body</h1><p>HTML!!!</p>'];
// $success = SendO365EmailTLS($options);
// echo $success ? 'Email Sent':'Email Not Sent';
// die();
