I have a mail 'Group' to whom I send messages under the Bcc link to avoid disclosing the e-mail addresses. I have been using this successfully for years. Today it will not send out to this Group and comes back with an error message of 'too many recipients'. I have contacted my service provider and they are not putting this size limitation on. Why am I suddenly getting this? Can anybody help me to overcome this problem please?:( -- otismack |

Windows Mail has no restrictions on the number of recipients. Whoever you talked to at your mail provider was misinformed. Unless you have a business or special account, a typical provider will have a limit in the 50-100 range. How large is your Group? Who is the mail provider? --=20 Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "otismack" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message = news:b524333564e3d4d9ca3d347116f4249b@nntp-gateway.com... >=20 > I have a mail 'Group' to whom I send messages under the Bcc link to > avoid disclosing the e-mail addresses.

My ISP is Virgin Media [Cable, ex Telewest]. I have contacted them twice about this and asked them specifically about the error message and its 'too many recipients' bit. Neither Operator thought that Virgin were restricting the number of recipients.How can I take this forward I wonder? The number of recipients were about 275 although I have been taking out several addresses identified at the beginning of each message as 'the problem'. It hasn't made any difference so far. -- otismack |

I have been successfully sending e-mails to this much larger group for the last 2 years without ever having a problem. It just started yesterday. I will go back to Virgin again and take up the points you have made with them. Virgin Media arose from a merger of the Cable Companies and Virgin Telecom so maybe they are introducing some restrictions as a result. Thanks very much for your help. i will let you know how I get on. -- otismack |

Glad to help out. Cable companies are notorious for having poor support for Internet related problems. --=20 Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "otismack" <guest@unknown-email.com> wrote in message = news:50ebe4074c2495ecae14749037619473@nntp-gateway.com... >=20 > I have been successfully sending e-mails to this much larger group for > the last 2 years without ever having a problem.
