Outlook 2003 Outbox Email Limit

R

Ryan

I have a database that sends a large number of emails (500 - 1000) at one
time based on a query, and Outlook seems to fail around 150 emails? Is there
a limit within Outlook that will cause it to stop responding in order to
reduce the amount of Spam that is already being sent around the world?

Can this limit be adjusted?
Could this be caused by running Cached Mode?
Could this be an issue on the Exchange Server?

This works fine when running Outlook 2000, as I was forced to reinstall 2000
which has caused this PC not be conformant with our corporate standards. This
leads me to believe that the issue is within the Outlook 2003 Client.

Any suggestions would be most helpful.

Perhaps someone else has an idea, because I can't explain the behavior you
see.

You say this fails around 150 emails - what happens when it fails? Error
messages?

I actually had it run until it reached message 373 and received the following
error.

An error has occured while attempting

I'm checking with some other folks on this, as I know virtually nothing
about the interaction of third-party programs with Outlook. In the
meantime, did you write this database application yourself, or purchase it?

A question: in your Outlook 2003 setup, are you in online or in cached
Exchange mode? If you're in cached mode, what happens if you switch to
online mode?
