Actually, Bcc: shouldn't be, even if some mail servers seem to work as
you expect.  If you want to Bcc: to someone, add their address to the
envelope recipients, but not the message:

>>> fromaddr = 'c.evans at clear.net.nz'
>>> toaddr = 'eggs at example.com'
>>> msg = '''From: Carey Evans <c.evans at clear.net.nz>
To: Spam, spam, spam, eggs and spam <eggs at example.com>
Subject: Something completely different

Blah, blah, blah...'''
>>> s = smtplib.SMTP('localhost')
>>> s.sendmail(fromaddr, [fromaddr, toaddr], msg)
