MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / June 2005maximum # of addresses in an Outlook distribution list?
(Office 2003) I have a sports member database of 1200+ names and want to create a single dist. list for emailing everyone. In the past, I seemed to have problems with a dist. list of 30+ names, so now I have about 50 different dist. lists of no more than 25 names each. Is there a maximum # of addresses allowed in a single dist. list? Thanks!  SignatureMark K. Seattle, WA That limit is set by the mail server, not Outlook. Large DL's are a bad idea. They rarely work and are impossible to maintain. Look for other ways to group your Contacts, like separate subfolders or Categories.

I currently have dist. lists named A1, A2, A3, B1, C1, C2, etc. These are based on first initials, but I have about 60 different ones. Each of these contain no more than 25 names. When sending out the quarterly league announcements, I have to copy-paste the text into 60 emails - just takes about half-hour or so. I'm just looking for a major shortcut - ie, a single distribution list. Thanks for the response, though! SignatureMark K. Seattle, WA Yes. Only Comcast can tell you how many email addresses they'll let through at once. That is not an Outlook limit.

I wonder if it also might involve our web hosting company (www.powweb.com) for the league website... Thanks again! SignatureMark K. Seattle, WA > Yes.

Not sure how a web hosting company would affect SMTP, are you? SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Russ - thanks for the clarification.
