Bcc can be handy in specific circumstances. For instance, the University I work in operates various mailing lists where it is important that the recipients don't know who the other recipients are. We have two options. Either maintain a list server, or simply send the email to a false address, and BCC all the intended recipients. Much simpler on our end.

It's actually a shame that Spammers abuse this. It's actually a shame Spam exists at all..
