While trying to send an email to a group I receive this message:

The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent; try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded: 4.1.1 xYL8d1zh1WzQ5xYLAdmBIT internal error AUP#3900.

The problem is the message is only 1.9K. It is an email I send out all the time for the past 15 years. This morning is the 1st time I have ever received this error. I've tried sending a blank email to the same group - still no luck. I can send and receive all other emails as long as I am not sending to a group.

Using Thunderbird 52.3.0 (32-bit)

You may have hit a limit imposed by your email provider (not necessarily the size of the actual message you're trying to send). So you should talk to your email provider.

Thanks for the reply, I spoke to my provider. They say they do not have limits to how many people you send an email. Only limit is you are allowed to send 1000 emails per day. Only 53 people on the group list. If they are counting each person receiving the email. They are now "escalating" my issue.
