I sent out a change of address notifcation to perhaps 600 or 800 people.
Nearly all bounced, first with the message "554 @home no longer exists" which
I know is not the case. I tried again and this time got the message "471 too
many recipients" which makes more sense. But there is no indication what is
the permissible maximum. Anyone know? Thanks.

Ask your ISP or mail server administrator. It's their limit that counts.
