Laravel Mail::send() sending to multiple to or bcc addresses

Question

I can't seem to successfully send to multiple addresses when using Laravel's Mail::send() callback, the code does however work when I only specify one recipient.

I've tried chaining:

// for example $emails = array("[email protected]", "[email protected]"); $input = Input::all();  Mail::send('emails.admin-company', array('body' => Input::get('email_body')),  function($message) use ($emails, $input) {     $message     ->from('[email protected]', 'Administrator')     ->subject('Admin Subject');          foreach ($emails as $email) {             $message->to($email);         } }); 

and passing an array:

// for example $emails = array("[email protected]", "[email protected]"); $input = Input::all();  Mail::send('emails.admin-company', array('body' => Input::get('email_body')),      function($message) use ($emails, $input) {         $message         ->from('[email protected]', 'Administrator')         ->subject('Admin Subject');          $message->to($emails); }); 

but neither seem to work and I get failure messages when returning Mail::failures(), a var_dump() of Mail::failures() shows the email addresses that I tried to send to, for example:

array(2) {   [0]=>   string(18) "[email protected]"   [1]=>   string(18) "[email protected]" } 

Clearly doing something wrong, would appreciate any help as I'm not understanding the API either: http://laravel.com/api/4.2/Illuminate/Mail/Message.html#method_to

I realise I could put the Mail::send() method in a for/foreach loop and Mail::send() for each email address, but this doesn't appear to me to be the optimal solution, I was hoping I would also be able to ->bcc() to all addresses once everything was working so the recipients wouldn't see who else the mail is being sent to.

I've tested it using the following code:

$emails = ['[email protected]', '[email protected]','[email protected]'];  Mail::send('emails.welcome', [], function($message) use ($emails) {         $message->to($emails)->subject('This is test e-mail');     }); var_dump( Mail:: failures()); exit; 

Result - empty array for failures.

But of course you need to configure your app/config/mail.php properly. So first make sure you can send e-mail just to one user and then test your code with many users.

Moreover using this simple code none of my e-mails were delivered to free mail accounts, I got only emails to inboxes that I have on my paid hosting accounts, so probably they were caught by some filters (it's maybe simple topic/content issue but I mentioned it just in case you haven't received some of e-mails) .
