"Too many recipients"

I am using Outlook 2000 SR-1.

I have two opt-in groups in my email address book, comprised of about 100
contacts. I can send an email to all those contacts at once, no problem.

But it had been a larger group and I found that I would get the error
message "too many recipients" and the email would not go out.. it would stay
in my outbox... so I broke the group into two parts.

When I don't use an established group, but just click on email addresses to
bcc: a message to a bunch of friends... I suppose I could get up over 100. I
don't know how many. But often I will get that same message "too many
recipients".

Then, I have to cut segments of the addresses and paste them into duplicate
messages. When doing this, I find it won't go out with more than about 20
addresses.

Does anyone know where these limitations are coming from and how I can work
with it?

Thanks,

Lu
 
They're coming from your outbound mail server. Check with either your ISP or
internal mail administrator to see if there's anything that can be done (but
I doubt they're going to change things)
