Error message 4.5.3 Too many recipients

S

Here is a new one on me. I am trying to send an email to 2 groups of
email addressees -- one about 40 addresssees and the other about 60
addressees. The email has an 86K attachment.
The groups are set to NOT display names of each group member in the To:
line, so the To: line just includes the name of each group.
When I try to send the email, I am returned an errror message that says
4.5.3 Too Many Recipients;
Mail could not be sent. In the bottom left-hand corner of the error
box is the number -17099.

Even if i remove one of the groups from the address line, the same
message comes back.

What in the world could I be doing wrong?

Entourage does not set any limit on the number of recipients in a message,
but many ISPs do.

There is a script that will send a message to different subsets of the
recipients separately to avoid overtaxing sensitive ISPs. Download it from
here:
