Distribution Lists

[cj]

We have a user here that has a distribution list with 95
people on it. It worked in the past, but now people seem
to not get it. Does anyone know if there is a limit on
how many people you can have on your distribution list?

Thanks,

CJ

Many many more than 95.

Not in Outlook, but there may be on the part of the mail server.

I had a similar experience. All of a sudden many of my contacts were not getting the mail, particularly from AOL...I think some mail servers view a large block of names as possible spam...and all these new anti-spam programs block it. For me , the problem was solved by putting the distribution list in the bcc area and just sending my self a copy in the To area. Since then the problem did not repeat itself.
