Okay, I just created a PR to add new setting `max_allowed_message_recipients` with default value of `30`. Some highlights:

- A (non-staff) user can send a message to maximum 30 recipients by default.
- If user adds a group as message recipient and if that group has more than 30 members, then this setting will come into action and an error will be generated.
- This setting will _not_ come into action if a message was sent to a group [via email](https://meta.discourse.org/t/configuring-reply-via-email-e-mail/42026).
