553 Sorry, too many recipients

[Eric H]

I keep getting this error when sending to an email group. No sure how many
contacts, but there are about 200. I had no problems with Outlook when I
last emailed to this group about six months ago. But now, I get the error:
553 Sorry, too many recipients.

I have tried breaking the group up into smaller groups but I still get the
error. I can't figure out why it worked before on many occasions but now it
won't.

Any ideas?

this limit is set on your email provider's server

Godaddy tells me it is Outlook causing the problem.

Godaddy allows the ability to send to 250 addresses a day. If you send 75
emails to 75 different smtp addresses, and then attempt to send 1 message
to these 200 users, you'll hit that limit.

I double checked and there are 185 recipients in the group. I understand
that the Godaddy relay limit is 250. I use a separate email account when
mailing to this group so that I don't have problems exceeding the 250 relay
maximum.

Outlook reports what the server tells it.

If you set up a second pop3 client and try to send to the same 185 recipients,
does it work?

They are lying to you. The message is clearly a server error message.

I got ahold of someone at Godaddy that knew what was going on. They have a
limit of 100 relays per message. This must have changed because I did not
have this problem six months ago.

The only solution they offered was to have me break down the email into
groups of 50. I will try this again, however the best solution appears to
get a new email provider for this account.

Thanks!
