For years I have used the BCC facility to send out emails to a mailing list .
This facility means that individual recipients of an email cannot learn the
emails of other people on the mailing list. My mailing list is 350 large. I
hadnt sent out an email to the mailing list for some months and when I tried
recently the email wouldnt go as I kept getting a message that one or other
server rejected the message e.g." The message could not be sent because one
of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was
.......... Subject ........., Account: 'pop.indigo.ie', Server: .........,
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '552 too many recipients', Port: 25,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 552, Error Number: 0x800CCC79"

I have tried breaking the mailing group into smaller chunks. I have reduced
the largest chunk now to 245 but am still getting this message.

What am I to do? How far do I have to break the emailing group down to
succeed.?

It is very difficult and time consuming with outlook express to subdivide a
group of addresses. I have to write down a group of names, then select them
on to the new group and then go back to the main group to eliminate those
names. There must be an easier way and does anybody know.

So there are two questions here!

Call your ISP/Server and find out what /their/ limit is. They may have
changed it recently, and some ISPs may be able to increase it for you.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Outlook Express. OE couldn't care less
how many people you send to at one time.

This is controlled by your ISP, not OE. Try 50, 25, or even fewer
recipients.

The maximum recipients per message is a quota established by your e-mail
provider. They may have lowered that quota to eliminate spamming.

Also check that you authenticate to your SMTP mail host. In the e-mail
account defined in OE, check that authentication to the outbound (SMTP)
mail host is enabled.

Could some of the recipients have changed their e-mail addresses. How do
you know the addresses are all still current?

OP: "I hadn't sent out an email to the mailing list for some months."

With a plethora of free e-mail services available people change addresses
like they change socks. Or, on a corporate level, takeovers result in
changes, too.
