How else can I send mass email distributions at once without using a
distribution list?

Thanks,

DL's are a very poor choice for sending to that many recipients. They become
corrupt too easily and are nearly impossible to repair at that size.

My guess is that's it's at least tens of thousands. Your mail router
would
probably choke before you reach Outlook's limit.

Mail merge creates one message for each entry. Hardly "mass email
distributions at once..." It does take only one, action on the part of the
sender, but if there are hundreds or thousands it will take a long time.

Use a tool designed for mass mail. Outlook isn't one of them.
