Problem getting mailx to send true Bcc mail to multiple recipients
I am having trouble getting mailx to send multiple Bcc mails out without everyone in the list of recipients seeing everyone else's email addresses. I looked at the man pages of my system and seem to be following the syntax correctly, but the mails still go out as if I were just putting in a list of email addresses. I am running CentOS 6.4 by the way. If someone could give me the right syntax for this environment it would be greatly appreciated.

mlmmj-send
mlmmj-send(1) General Commands Manual mlmmj-send(1)
NAME
mlmmj-send - send mail to a mailinglist or similar
SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-send [-L /path/to/list | -l listctrl] -m /path/to/mail [-a] [-D] [-F] [-h] [-o] [-r] [-R] [-s] [-T] [-V]
-a: Don't archive the mail
-D: Don't delete the mail after it's sent
-F: What to use as MAIL FROM:
-h: This help
-l: List control variable.
-L: Full path to list directory
-m: Full path to mail file
-o: Address to omit from distribution (normal mail only)
-r: Relayhost IP address (defaults to 127.0.0.1)
-R: What to use as Reply-To: header
-s: Subscribers file name
-T: What to use as RCPT TO:
-V: Print version
DESCRIPTION
This binary is used to send all kinds of mail to mlmmj managed mailinglists, but can potentially be used standalone for sending mails.
The only option that is not self explanatory is the -l list control option:
'1' means 'send a single mail'
This is used together with -F and -T to send one mail to one recipient.
'2' means 'mail to moderators'
Used for sending mails to the moderators of a list.
'3' means 'resend failed list mail'
'4' means 'send to file with recipients'
'5' means 'bounceprobe'
'6' means 'single listmail to single recipient'
BUGS
This manual page is very scarce documentation of the mlmmj-send binary. The reason for this is that it's really not supposed to be used by
any human, but only supposed to be invoked from other mlmmj binaries. So in case more documentation is needed, please read the source.
