This worked

mhmail -profile -from trxx -to 'my special people:;'  -subject 'test Dcc 
only email' -port 25 -headerfield Fcc:sent -headerfield 'Dcc: 4t' -mime <<< "as 
df" ### trxx and 4t are aliases

Somewhat nintuitively, it's the latter "Dcc: address, address,..." that
duplicates what most mailers do with Bcc.

If you use MH's Bcc: header, the recipients get the message with
additional text that tells them they've received a Bcc.  Which is sort
of nice, but fairly unique behavior.

When sending to a group, as for an event invitation, I usually use a
Dcc header, with myself in the To header, to match common (in my
experience) practice.  If just copying my wife on something I'm
addressing to someone else, I use Bcc which makes it unambiguously
clear she wasn't a disclosed recipient.

Experiment with one of

-headerfield 'dcc: Tom R '

You may have seen ‘undisclosed-recipients:;’ in the To field.

Is there a way to Bcc: with mhmail? I do not want any destination addresses in
the header.
