when emailing using Bcc how does it work?

Okay I have never used Bcc!

I need to send an email to some friends

I read that you should put your name or your website link or just the name of your site in the 'To field' and leave the cc field out and place any email address separated by commas into the Bcc field. This way your friends won't be able to see each others email addresses only mine. But I also heard sometimes it doesn't work and there can be an error and the people you send the email to ends up seeing all the other email addresses. Is this true? It's my understanding that you can only see the other email address if you do not fill out the Bcc field but infact fill in the cc field. What do I do?

many thanks in advance

Edit: what is sending an email to undisclosed recipients, I thought that is Bcc?

many thanks for all the replies

I have yahoo com and uk accounts is that okay? Will email addresses stay hidden in Bcc?

But what if I send out to people with other email accounts like hotmail and outlook etc, is it possible that they will end up seeing the other users?

Thanks for the replies,

I am not doing any spam or anything like that

I just got some people who bought some products from my store and needed to send out some emails, as they all bought the same product. I used an email template and didn't want each customer to see each others email address.
