Description

Typically BCCs are handled via the sending mail client. That is, when the client sees a BCC in an email, it will open up two connections to the mail server, the first for the To/CC fields, the second for BCC fields, this way the addresses are masked from the headers and there is that layer of anonymity that BCC is used for.

What appears to be happening is that OFBiz is sending all of the information in one connection to the mail server and having the mail server sort out the details. So when sendTo encountering an invalid email, and then terminating the remaining execution of the outgoing process and no email sent to BCC address which is usually going to be a valid address from email settings for the company.

To fix the issue, we need to send this via two connection to mail client.
