With 11,000 addresses, I would use a dedicated list management application. Mail bounce rates for mailings tend to run 5-10%. Do you really want to manually process the bounces for up to 1100 addresses? There are many such applications available, both hosted and ones you can install locally.

If you insist on using Outlook, perform a mail merge with Word to send 11,000 individual messages.

Hi,

About once a month we have to send an email out to many of our clients and
employees across the county letting them know of updates and other events
going on within our company. I have been importing the list of emails into
Outlook and then selecting all of the email addresses in the contact folder
when addressing the email.

I use the BCC field so as not to allow anyone else see who else is getting
the email. The problem is that the list of emails is just under 11,000
emails strong and when populating the BCC field it takes a long time to
complete. So my next thought was to create distribution lists to help break
up the large list of emails. The problem is that you can only cut and paste
about 200 emails in per distribution list.

Is there another way to handle either setting up the distribution lists or
sending out the email?
