Error Message "Too Many Recipients"

[Guest]

We are trying to send out a mass email to our 400 plus members, and this error message has been popping up. We have sent out these before, possibly to 350 members, and it's worked fine. Someone told me that our "e-mail server probably (I will give this a 95% confidence) has a hard limit to the number of e-mail recipients you can have for a single e-mail. The easy fix is to split the list into smaller chunks and send the same e-mail to each one. Your IT staff "should" be able to change/remove that limit but if they know how, they probably wouldn't anyway. It's an anti-spamming measure." Is this true? How can we find out what are limit is, or can we change that limit? (We tried chunking it into thirds, but received the same message.)
Thanks,

Yes, this is probably true. You would have to ask the mail server
administrator about any limit.

You might want to consider using a mail merge to create an individual
message for each member. That gives it a better chance of getting through
the member's anti-spam system, too.
