Sent a bulk email and rejected with Too many recipients.

[Michelle@Melaleuca]

Sent an email and got two rejections with a large number of addresses. The
first stated " Your message did not reach some or all of the intended
recipients" 452 #4.5.3 Too many recipients. - What does this mean.

The second email was from some (e-mail address removed) the
subject was failure notice - have pasted below

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at icp-qv1-mail1.iinet.net.au.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<[email protected]>:

It means your ISP won't allow you to send a message to that many people at
one time.

This means exactly what it says: there's no one in the ozemail.com.au domain
whose username is australie.

Never ever post real mail addresses in a newsgroup unless you want them
inundated with viruses and spam. The above lines look like perfectly normal
routing information to me.
