Forgive me if I'm wrong, but all it seems you have done is used a different
variable name to hold the list of recipients (from $to to $bcc). That in
itself is hardly likely to change the behaviour of mail() to do what you want.
Read the manual *again* (you have already read it haven't you?) for how to
use cc: and bcc: in mail().
