My friend told me that Outlook (I have O-2000 & he has O-2002)
will only send up to 100 addressees. That it will drop out any in
excess of 100. He says that's what his computer guru told him. I
have a group (150) of Aviation Cadet classmates and it appears to
have sent to all the 150 addressees.


Your friend. He says. So why do you care about his sending
problems when trying to spew out bulk mail that exceeds the
anti-spam quotas for the *personal* email account that your
"friend" is using? You will have to find out what are the
anti-spam quotas for YOUR email account, and only your email
provider can answer that question since THEY are the ones that
enforce that anti-spam quota.

Thank you for your courteous response. I don't send spam. But I do
handle the email for my Air Force pilot training group reunions.
They (as I said in my initial post) are the ones I am emailing. This
is "personal" email from my "personal" account. Russ' response
confirms my suspicion that addressee limits are only set by ISPs,
not by Outlook itself.



Rather than sending out 1 email to hundreds of recipients, why not
send 1 email to each of them? You can use MailMerge in Word (if you
have Word) or some bulk mailing program (several are listed at
www.slipstick.com). Outlook was designed to be a personal e-mail
client (with support for corporate features), not a bulk mailing
program. MailMerge might work but it has no control over how fast you
send those individual emails. Some ISPs restrict how many emails you
can send per minute and might also restrict how many mail sessions
every 1 or 5 minutes. This is to reduce email traffic to what would
be considered appropriate for a *personal* email service.
Alternatively, your email provider may have other plans to which you
can subscribe. Or you could check into listserver services for
sending out bulk mailings.
