I am having a problem with Outlook2000 sending blank emails when I send to
875 people. Anything less than that works fine. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Provide the evidence that has led you to conclude that this is an Outlook
issue. Outlook places no limits on recipient numbers. Most mail servers do.
Highly unlikely that this is an Outlook issue.

Most mail servers send a bounce back message notifying the sender that a
maximum number of recipients were met. This, however, is sending a Blank
email to all of the recipients that the email message is being sent to.

At this point in time, I am trying to figure out why when I hit this number
the Email being sent becomes Blank. When composing an Email what other Office
resources are being used. This could be a corrupt file.

As far as Outlook not having a limit on the recipients, I do know that as of
right now the limit has not been met, however, it is naive to assume that
there is not a limit whatsoever.

Nice arguement Brett, but lacking in fact:
"naive to assume that there is not a limit whatsoever"

You came here for help. Why shoot the (expert) messenger?

Judy,

The response I received has nothing whatsoever to do with the problem at hand.

I admit being a little harsh in my response. The post by Russ seems like he
never even bothered to comprehend what I was saying. I understand most
people do not give the full amount of information most of the time. However,
there is a difference between a blank email being sent to 875 people (my
first post) and meeting my limit with my email server that would have never
sent an email. If I would have met my limit I would not have sent a blank
email to the 875 people to begin with.

There is no lacking in my response to Russ. It would be very naive to
assume that either side of the argument, a limit vs. non limit is valid. My
response was nothing more than telling Russ to sit back, and think before
spitting out a response that has nothing to do with the problem at hand.
Please do not assume that the people you are always talking to does not know
what they are saying. This kind of reminds me of my first tech job where I
had a technician who never could figure problems out because he never
bothered to listen to what the customer said in the first place. What I am
saying is please listen (or read) what was said before giving suggestions
that have nothing to do with the issue.

BTW, I did find the problem. I reset my normal.dot in the user folder under
documents and settings, and that corrected my problem.

I did read your post carefully and comprehended it. I also knew that Outlook
imposes no limit on the number of recipients and that the problem you were
describing has not been reported or reproduced in this group. Accordingly, I
was saying that we need to look beyond Outlook for possible causes, and the
pattern you described suggested that there may have been something at the
mail server level that you ought to investigate.
So what was the real cause? Why did you have to reset normal.dot and how had
it caused the problem?
