While I use Entourage for day-to-day e-mail, I use MaxBulkmailer for big mailings. It automatically batches the mail in groups (I use 25) to overcome the service providers limits. It sends out 500 on my list in a minute or so. It also does mail merge so each email can have a salutation. Go to http://www.maxprog.com/
The big pain with this is tedious exporting addresses from Entourage via Excel to Max Bulk Mailer. The “Export Contacts E-E” script helps a lot with this task.

Subject: Problem with sending messages to a group
Hi--
I’m new to this list, so please pardon me if the subject has been discussed before. I’m having problems sending messages to a group I created in my address book— its size is about 850 recips and I’m getting the following error in the error log “Mail could not be sent using the account ‘x’ / 4.5.3 Too many recipients specified / Error: 5452.” Just to see if it would help, I even tried halving my group so each group now has about 400 recips— but to no avail. The funny thing is, I have another mailing list with 800+ recips that went out fine before but for some reason this isn’t working....does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Evan
