Sending to 50+ recipients

I am unable to send an email to more than 50 recipients.
The easy fix is to enter all of my contacts into my
address book and create a dist list, but I am trying to
avoid that work. I have 2000 plus contacts in a database
and I want to cut and paste into the "To..." field. When
I do, I get a rejection for recipient 51 through X. How
do I modify the Outlook code to allow 51+ recipients?
 
You can't modify the Outlook code; it's not open source. Why not just
import that database into the Contacts folder; that should be fairly easy,
depending upon what kind of database it is.

Probably better than you not send a message with 50+ addresses in the TO:
field; your recipients will get this message with a very unwieldy header and
may find it annoying. I'd put them in a distribution list and BCC the
message to the distribution list; much more elegant solution.

You sure the rejection isn't from your ISP's SMTP server saying that it
won't accept more than 50 RCPT-TO commands (which designate the
recipient for your e-mail)? Do you have a bulk mail account with your
ISP that allows you to sends thousands of copies of each e-mail?
