There is much variation in the mailx command.
Please post what Operating System and version you are running and what mail transport your system uses (e.g. sendmail).

You need to use sendmail if you want to include Cc and Bcc in your mail distribution list...

I don't have GNU/Linux but I have done this with mailx on unix. There is an alternative way of driving mailx from the mailx command prompt (similar to the ancient way of working the original unix mail command) before the likes of Netscape which gave you a GUI to the underlying mail commands.

If you can type a mailx tilde command at the mailx command prompt you can automate the process or even write a GUI mail program.

Can you post a link to the man page for your version of mailx?
