codeigniter bcc doesn't work

Question

Codeigniter "bcc" doesn't work, But the same code with "to" works just fine! Any suggestions why this happens and how to fix it?

Here's my code:

        $email = "myEmail@myWebsite.com";

        $subject = "my subject";
        $message = "my message";

        $this->email->set_mailtype("html"); // In my actual code this is needed

        $this->email->from('myWebsiteEmail@myWebsite.com', 'Info');
        // $this->email->to($email); // It works with this code
        $this->email->bcc($email); // It doesn't work with this code

        $this->email->subject($subject);
        $this->email->message($message);

        $this->email->send();

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Answer 1

You have to have a to to be able to bcc

Try adding an email to the to as well as a bcc and it should work.

Answer 2

You may need to enable bcc_batch_mode in email config. By default is value is FALSE.
