Hello All,
Most ISP's have a limit on the number of addresses you can have in one
email, some have a max of 50 and some 100.
I am on Optusnet in Australia who have a limit of 100, but the Help Desk
told me it was 50. It could be these numbers have been reduced, try with 20
addresses, if it works increase to 30 etc.
I use Entourage and an AppleScript that takes the email with all the
addresses in the BCC Field and creates emails with 80 addresses, then
another 80 and so on. Usually when you try and send too many addresses in
one email, you will get an error message. You must have an address in the To
field, your own works fine.
Hope this clears the air a bit about to mass email without upsetting some of
the spam prevention traps used.
