Hi: I want to know what is the maximum number allowed of contacts that I can add to a distribution list on Outlook.Thank you > Hi: I want to know what is the maximum number allowed of contacts > that I can add to a distribution list on Outlook.Thank you My guess is that's it's at least tens of thousands. Your mail router would probably choke before you reach Outlook's limit.  SignatureBrian Tillman I have 453 contacts in my list and it was kicked back with "too many recipients" Does anyone know the maximum number? > > Hi: I want to know what is the maximum number allowed of contacts > > that I can add to a distribution list on Outlook.Thank you > > My guess is that's it's at least tens of thousands.

They become corrupt too easily and are nearly impossible to repair at that size.

It does take only one, action on the part of the sender, but if there are hundreds or thousands it will take a long time. > Mail merge. >> How else can I send mass email distributions at once without using a [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >>> >> would >>> >> probably choke before you reach Outlook's limit.

Use a tool designed for mass mail. Outlook isn't one of them. SignatureBrian Tillman |
