#2 Does BCC really work?

[Air Bete]

It looks like BCC adresses are not transfered to the
Yahoo server with version 0.5.6. I've tried 2 times
with no success. But it is advertised "Creating To, Cc,
Bcc and Subject headers" on the project page. What am I
doing wrong?

Well, here it works nice. Can you please report:

- Your Yahoo! Mail domain (e.g. @yahoo.co.uk, @yahoo.com)
- Which e-mail client (MUA) are you using
- what exactly isn't working (the BCC recipient is not receiving the
message? The message is not sent to any recipient?)

Thanks,

I'm using @yahoo.com with KMail as MUA. The message is
effectively sent as it appears in the Sent folder on Yahoo!
The TO recipients receive the mail but not the BCC
recipients. I've just retried it to be sure.

I've been using sendymail for months and it works great
(beside that).

Thanks to you.

I've just tested SendYmail 0.5.7 using a @yahoo.com account and
Kmail. I could not reproduce your problem.

Can you try the latest version? If it still has this problem, run the
following command inside SendYmail's unpacked dir:

egrep '^(use|require)' sendymail.pl | \
awk -F'[; ]' '{print $2}' | \
while read m; do perl -M"$m" -e ''; done

If it succeeds, it'll not output anything. Otherwise, it may output lines
like "Can't locate <module> in @INC ...".

Also send your SendYmail log file (~/sendymail.log by default) and the
output of the "send_test.sh" script.

Thanks,

I installed 0.5.7. No change. :-(

The egrep command yields nothing (so every Perl module is
found I guess).

If you are receiving this e-mail, it's because SendYmail was
