I'm guessing here (based on experience of PHP's sendmail interface), but CC is just another header field for sendmail. The package sendmailR has a headers= argument to its sendmail function that accepts 'other headers' and therefore ought to accept  CC addresses. Since that argument's a list and the sendmailR code simply pastes names and list contents before sending, I'd guess that something of the form list(CC=cc.recipient at example.com) might work, though the documentation is not very helpful on the format of the list.
