    Cannot Send Mass Emails...."...too many recipients..."

    I keep getting an error message from Windows Mail:

    The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
    correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
    problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
    "I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
    the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.



    The rejected e-mail address was 'amwoods@geneva.edu'. Subject 'Fw: U19
    select sides', Account: 'pop.gmail.com', Server: 'smtp.gmail.com', Protocol:
    SMTP, Server Response: '452 4.5.3 Too many recipients c29sm1363884anc', Port:
    465, Secure(SSL): Yes, Server Error: 452, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

    I have to be able to send emails to larges groups of people within my
    organization...WHAT AM I MISSING?!

    Gmail has a limit in place, probably to restrain spamming.

    To how many recipients can I address a single message?
    Through the Google Mail web interface, you can send a single message to a
    maximum of 500 recipients. If you are using our POP service, you can send to
    a maximum of 100 recipients in a single message.

    In either case, the email addresses can be distributed among the To:, Cc:
    and Bcc: fields.

    https://mail.google.com/support/bin/...e=f&ctx=search

    Note. Some other ISP's/Email providers also set limits.

    You have exceeded the 100 recipient count for Gmail.

    Doesn't your College have an internal mail server? Like Lotus Notes, or Ms
    Exchange?

    its a protection against spammers.
    trim your mailing list down to smaller numbers.
