Email sending limits

I can only send to about 50 emails addresses in any one message. I want to
send up to 500. My ISP says it is a setting within outlook. How do I change
it to send all my emails at the one click of my button?

most sip's limit the number of people a message is sent to and outlook has a
limit to the number of characters you can put in the address fields - I
think it's 256 characters.

What do you mean 256 characters in the address field? I am using Outlook
2000. I used to be able to send a couple of hundred emails at a time when
using outlook express but now about 50. My isp says their limit is over 500.

paste the addresses in notepad and check the line counts... (word's
character count works too).

Outlook is not related to outlook express - so it's not surprising they have
different limits.

Is it possible to tweak the number Outlook accepts or am I just going to have
to go back to outlook express? It is a pain in the bum to have to break up
all my addresses in groups of 40-50. I know some other email programs do it
automatically for you...is this possible in outlook? Thanks for you help so
far....much appreciated.

Nope... there isn't a way to increase it in outlook. Do you need them sent
as one message? If not use mail merge (better than using BCC especially).

Does it also fail if you create a DL with all the names in it (I think it
should fail, unless it Exchange server and a DL in the GAL, but it's worth
confirming.).

Hey Front Man, have you found a solution to your problem? I have the same
problem and I see there are others as well.

I am using Outlook2000. I am unable to find the limit of recipients I can
send. Is it 100 or 500? Where can I check on Outlook to verify that number.
Thanks so much..

The limit is on the mail server, not Outlook.

I need a reliable answer if it is a limitting function of Outlook or the
server how many addresses I can uns per email.
I am working with Outlook 2003. If this is an outlook limit, we will be
urged to use an other mailing program.
