Hi,
I am using Outlook 2003.
I have a word file with about 4000 email addresses, seperated by ';'
I am trying to send email to all those addresses by copying and pasting them
in Bcc. But the message stays in the outbox only.
I have a 20MB mailbox. I am not sure the problem is with my mailbox size or
some other.
Please give me the procedure of doing this.
Thanks.
Kiran Mandava.

Hi Kiran,

most mail servers have a limitation for the number of recipients of the
single email message (usually 100-300). When Microsoft Outlook is trying to
send a message, mail server answers that it have a limitation and don't
accept the message. You can turn on mail logging to verify it.

As the alternative, you can try our Send Personally add-in for Microsoft
Oulook, it'll help you to avoid your ISP limitation:

Thanks Alex for the reply.

Tried send_personally trial version and it seems useful. But couldnt find
much help/documentation.
Can you please tell me whether I can send mail to 4000+ addresses using it
without bothering about limitations of my mail-server? Also should I paste
all the addresses in To: field or the Bcc: field ?
Appreciate your help.

Kiran Mandava.

For that many addresses, you would be best served by using a mail merge that
would send individual messages.  I am quite sure your ISP would not allow
4000 emails sent at one time.
