    Can someone tel me how to add cc's and bcc's while sending mails using python

    Following (tested) snippet should help:

    ------------------ 8< ------------------------------
    from smtplib import SMTP
    from email.mime.image import MIMEImage
    from email.mime.text import MIMEText
    from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart

    to = 'to_ad...@example.invalid'
    cc = 'cc_ad...@example.invalid'
    bcc = 'bcc_a...@example.invalid'

    msg = MIMEMultipart()
    msg['To'] = to
    msg['Cc'] = cc
    msg['From'] = 'bern...@bwalle.de'
    msg['Subject'] = 'Test'
    text = MIMEText('Das ist ein Test')
    text.add_header("Content-Disposition", "inline")
    msg.attach(text)

    s = SMTP('test.smtp.relay')
    s.sendmail(msg['From'], [to, cc, bcc], msg.as_string())
    s.quit()

    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 = 'e...@domain.gov'
    cc = 'e...@gmailmail.com'
    bcc = 'e...@home.net'
    msg = MIMEMultipart()
    msg['To'] = to
    msg['Cc'] = cc
    msg['Subject'] = 'My Subject text here'
    msg['From'] = 'eds...@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!!

    I tried this but my mail gets sent only in to but not in cc. Can anyone help?

    That looks like it should work. In fact I typed in your code, with some
    email addresses of mine and another smtp server, and it does work.
    That's to say, I can see in the logs of my smtp server that three mails
    are sent out, and I see the mails arriving at the to-address and the cc-address. The bcc-addres doesn't seem to receive the mail reliably:
    sometimes not at all, sometimes in the spam folder. It looks like mail
    systems don't like bcc very much. As far as I can see the code is
    correct, and there is a good chance the problem is caused by a mail
    server not accepting one or more of the messages for some reason.

    I added some content to the mail, and that seemed to work better.

    So, some suggestions:

    - Do you have access to the smtp server to check its logs and see what
    is sent, what is not sent, and any possible error messages?
    - Try adding some content to the email, something which looks nothing
    like spam.
