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.

Those are all good suggestions. I haved saved your post to consider later.
I have Word 2007 which defaults to saving documents as .docx files. Maybe I
can use the option to Save as (older) .doc files to insure everyone can read
it.
