If one email address is wrong in a distribution list of 245 names, the entire email will not go out, as opposed to just the server returning just the one wrong name. Why is this? Is this a server issue? Because on other computers when I test a few names with one wrong email address, it works. How many names can you send at one time through Outlook and is there some thing I need to tell my distribution list to make each person separate?

I'm having a similar problem. I am trying to send bulk e-mail and it doesn't work. Do you have any idea how we can do that from Outlook? I'm trying to not have everyone on the To column see each other's e-mail address so it will look like I sent it them personally.

Use mail merge instead

It could be a server issue. Many set limits on the number of recipients
allowed.
