I would suggest "sandoghe daryaft" and "sandoghe ersal", because in 
farsi we use "sandoghe posti".

I'm not sure about dictionaries, but AFAIK CC stands for Carbon Copy. 
This word is very often used in farsi conversations in offices, so I 
suggest you translate CC as "Copy Carbon" and BCC as "Copy Carbone 
Penhan".

handle this.
