Multi addressed emails rejected

I have problems sending multi-addressed emails. With a group of up to 10 addresses it works, but any more than that, the message is rejected. I sometimes need to send to around 130 addresses.

This error may be coming from your email provider. Posting the screenshot of error message may help. Thank you.

Error message read: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded too many recipients." If the problem is as you suggest, how do i fix it? Thanks.

You can possibly eliminate this by putting the addresses into a contact list in addressbook and use the contactlist name as the recipient. However, if your email provider has a limit, you would need to contact them. Sending to 130 or so may cause you to be defined as a spammer. If you do that regularly, you may want to consider subscribing to a mailing list provider.
