trying to send a group of addresses through entourage. Keep getting
Error 17099. Too many recipients. The group had 83 email addresses. I
cut it in half to 39 addresses and got the same Error 17099. Any
suggestons? Thanks. JR

39 recipients are still too many for your ISP. Have a look at the Entourage
Help Page for more details and a workaround:

Users have reported this error when sending to large groups. ISPs limit the
number in a group. Usual number is 50 recipients to avoid spammer misuse.
Entourage has no limit. You should contact your mail provider to ascertain
the maximum number of recipients per message and note it. You can use the
free "Split Recipients" script to send a mass e-mail in separate mailings
automatically:

Most ISPs also require you to use their SMTP address when sending.
