Outlook Exp #of address limit

[*Vanguard*]

Does Outlook Express 6 have a limit on the number of address you can a
single e-mail to?
If so, is there anyway to change the limit? When we try to send the
same message to 30 addresses the email bounces until we get the list
trimmed to 20-25. Our ISP tells us it is a OE problem, is it?

You will not hit a limit at just 30 recipients. It's more like 16K,
32K, or 64K recipients (a lot more than you'll ever need unless you are
a spammer but then a spammer doesn't use OE). There is a limit to the
buffer for the e-mail addresses but I don't know what it is (without
looking it up) and it should be long enough for several hundred
recipients. The problem is STILL with your ISP. Ask your ISP what is
their per-message recipient quota. I can't vouch for every ISP, but in
the 14 ISPs that I've used, everyone of them had a quota which limited
how many recipients are allowed for each message sent. This per-message
recipient quota is a limit of the aggregate of recipients you have in
the To, Cc, and Bcc fields.

So instead of asking your ISP what's wrong with your e-mail client or
your account with them not handling many recipients per message, instead
ask them what are your account's quotas - how much disk space you get,
how much bandwidth you get per month, and how many maximum recipients
per message. If the tech can't answer those questions then tell that
tech you require that information to guarantee they are honored their
service level per your contract with them so you will need to talk to a
higher-up tech.

If you tell us the exact message we can give exact answers. Record a log file. For mail, computers talk in english, so you can read what the ISP's mail server is saying when you send it.

These are the last 3 lines from a send
SMTP: 20:35:43 [rx] 250 2.0.0 Message received OK
SMTP: 20:35:43 [tx] QUIT
SMTP: 20:35:43 [rx] 221 2.0.0 mvps.org closing

As you can see the server is perfectly happy with the message, if not it say so (some will say ok then email you on some errors).

See log files in OE's help.
