Entourage has no limit. It's your ISP that has a limit (to prevent being
used for spam). You have to phone them up to ask them. When you know what
the limit is you can use my script Split Recipients X from

MacScripter.net <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/>

to break up the group.

If the people on the list haven't explicitly agreed to receive the email, 1 is
too many.

But in any case, this is a PowerPoint newsgroup. Since PowerPoint doesn't do
email, I suspect you've followed the rabbit down the wrong hole.

list wrote it down in my mailing list book, so that wouldn't be a
factor.
