Description

From #26791:

BCC recipients

Since each user gets their own mail, we can probably remove the setting to send mails with BCC completely. If plugins want to send mails to non-user recipients, we would have to make sure to either set the recipients manually on BCC or group them appropriately. It is not a required setting in Redmine core anymore though.

I agree, the setting doesn't make any sense now.

Agree. Also, #30787 can be closed now from my point of view if you don't refer to other problem.

If entirely removing the setting is unwanted in 4.3, maybe we can deprecate it there.

That is, we could remove any code which uses the setting but keep the setting itself available in code (possible with some deprecation warning if accessed)

The next version is 5.0.0 which will contain other removals or breaking changes. I'm in favour of removing this and in the future, indeed, we can deprecate it few versions before.
