Laravel: How to Send email in laravel with BCC?

In Laravel, you can send an email with blind carbon copy (BCC) recipients using the built-in Mail class. BCC allows you to send an email to multiple recipients while keeping their email addresses hidden from each other. Here's how to send an email with BCC recipients in Laravel:

1. Configure Mail Settings:

   First, make sure you have configured your email settings in the .env file as mentioned in the previous answer.

2. Create a Mailable Class:

   If you haven't already created a Mailable class, follow these steps to create one:

   • Use the Artisan command-line tool to generate a Mailable class:

     bash

php artisan make:mail MyTestMail

Customize the Mailable class to define the email message, subject, recipients, and any other email-related information. You can also pass data to your email template. Here's an example:

php

• use Illuminate\Mail\Mailable;
  
  class MyTestMail extends Mailable
  {
      public function build()
      {
          return $this->subject('Your Email Subject')
                      ->view('email')
                      ->with(['name' => 'John'])
                      ->bcc(['bcc1@example.com', 'bcc2@example.com']);
      }
  }
  

  In this example, bcc is used to specify the BCC recipients.

Sending the Email with BCC:

To send the email with BCC recipients, you can use the Mail facade as shown in the previous answer:

php

3. use App\Mail\MyTestMail;
   use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
   
   public function sendEmail()
   {
       Mail::to('recipient@example.com')->send(new MyTestMail());
       return 'Email sent successfully!';
   }
   

   In this code, the email will be sent to the primary recipient ('recipient@example.com') as well as to the BCC recipients specified in the MyTestMail Mailable class.

4. Testing the Email:

   To test the email functionality, access the route or controller action you created, which triggers the email sending process.

When the email is sent, it will be delivered to the primary recipient, and the BCC recipients will receive the email as well, but their email addresses will be hidden from each other in the email headers.

This approach allows you to send emails with BCC recipients in Laravel, ensuring that the recipient list remains private for all recipients.
