Put your email address in the "TO" header. Then you will get a copy and know the mail was sent and
stop the 'address.invalid' message.

Default Using the 'Bcc' function to send emails

field shows my email address also)

Yes, that's the way it works. With any name (yours at this time) in the
"To" field, the address.invalid or other "suppressed addressee" warning will
not appear. Leaving the field empty is what creates the warning. Putting
your name in the To field eliminates the warning (and still doesn't disclose
the other addressees to each recipient).

Short of sending individual emails To each of the recipients you wish to
receive the message, there's no way to use Bcc and leave the To empty
without getting the warning you write of. In any event, the warning (yours
is address.invalid) when leaving To empty or putting your address (if you
put your address there duplicating the From field) in the To field to
removes the warning and still lets each recipient reply to you and not know
the others addresses who received the email.

What is wrong with "your address" in the TO field?
What address were you expecting to be in the TO address?
If you expected their address to be in the TO field, that is not going to happen.
None of the addresses in the BCC field will ever show anywhere in the message. That is the purpose
of BCC, to hide these addresses from the spammers and from other recipients of the mail.
