Is there a limit to how big a distribution list can be?
I have made 3 DLs that are very big: 500, 800 and 1200 addresses. I will be
using AOL through Outlook. I am on AOL's white list. Does this also work through Outlook? |

Your question is for AOL. Size of DL's is controlled by the mail server, not
by Outlook. DL's of this size are generally a very poor idea. I would expect almost every server to reject messages to that many recipients, and DL's of that size are very difficult to maintain. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Victoria" wrote in message ...

I have already posted a question about this subject, I have a distribution
list just over 100 reciepients, I get a system administrator message saying, 452 there are too many recipients, is there a constriction on how many you can send at once within Outlook?, I have been in contact with my server and there is no problem at there end.

Not in Outlook. The mail server imposes those limitations.

The 452 error is a _server_ side error. Outlook is not complaining, your mail server is. That's where the limit is, not in Outlook. DLs in Outlook can have a size limit when you connect to an Exchange server. There you can have as few as 125 to 130 entries. WIth a PST-based DL and a POP account, however, you may be able to have as many as 1,000 members. Microsoft recommends having no more than about 50 members in a DL. See this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238569/en-us . If Outlook does complain about the size of the DL, it will not be with an error that starts with "452". -- Brian Tillman |
