Nope. When you send to,say, 10 recipients, you are not sending 10
copies of your e-mail to your sending mail server. You send only one
message for ALL recipients. The recipients from the To, Cc, and Bcc
fields (in your e-mail program) are compiled into an aggregate list.
Your e-mail client then issues a RCPT-TO command for each recipient to
your mail server. Recipients never see the list of recipients that were
specified by your RCPT-TO command(s). They only see the *data* in your
message that was sent in the DATA command (which includes headers and
body). Only one DATA command is sent for the message. So you have one,
or more, RCPT-TO commands per message but only one DATA command (i.e.,
the same data is used for all recipients).

If you want your Bcc recipients to get a different message than what you
send to your To/Cc recipients, you'll have to send a second copy of the
same message to those Bcc'ed recipients. Your ONE message goes to ALL
recipients.
