Hello Bernhard,

I've tried the above code and the bcc address does not receive the message, on the To & CC addresses receive it. 

Here are snippets from my code, perhaps something will stand out to you?

to = 'ed at domain.gov'
cc = 'ed at gmailmail.com'
bcc = 'ed at home.net'

msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['To'] = to
msg['Cc'] = cc
msg['Subject'] = 'My Subject text here'
msg['From'] = 'edsboss at domain.gov'

smtp = SMTP("smtpserver")
smtp.ehlo()
smtp.sendmail(msg['From'], [to, cc, bcc], msg.as_string())

Thanks in advance..hope you're still out there!!
