Why can't I send a distributiion list with 60 addresses in it.

[Neil B]

I set up a "D List with 60 e-mail addresses but when I use the List it
appears to go out (I don't get any error messages and the sent message
appears in my sent folder. The e-mail addresses work when I use them
indiviually or in small groups. I use Comcast to send/receive e-mails and it
works except for large "D" lists.

May be your ISP has a limit for sending mass mails.

Hi Neil B,

do not use distribution lists. "Mail merge" is must better to send the same
email to a list of receipients:

If it's in your Sent Items folder, then Comcast accepted the message and the
problem is that they're not delivering it.
