Can email distribution lists be too long?

[SR]

If we try to send a message to two distribution lists, we get -- "An
unexpected error has occurred "- on a Microsoft Office Word dialogue box.
We've not found any the email addresses that are wrong.

Yes they can. There is a limit in the RFC. It's either 1024 or 2048
characters I think (wild guess...)

Check the RFC for a definitive answer.
