Entourage Error Message

[nwlonestar]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC
Email Client: pop

After numerous attempts to get a "group" email list together that would actually attempt to send, I'm now getting the following error message:

4.5.3 ERROR: to many recipients

What is the point of having a "group" of recipients if I end up having to send all 117 members an individual email.

What is the maximum number of recipients I can have in a group?

As usual, Mac help is vague and doesn't address the problem.

Thanks for any help anyone is able to provide me with.

D.

Entourage has no limit. ISPs do. The number of emails you can send depends
on the Host or your ISP. Some indicate no more than 100 emails in a batch
and no more than 500 in a day. Others limit it to 50 per message.

Get this script, Split Recipients X. This script will replicate messages
into the number of copies needed to comply with an ISP's maximum number of
recipients allowed per outgoing message.
