RE: Distribution List - what if 700+
Well, if I were creating the e-mail, I'd know exactly what I'd configured in the registry the maximum number of recipients to be in a single message. So, I'd send it out with at least 1 fewer bcc recipient than that, and then I'd send out n more messages until I was done. But by default, Exchange has no limit on the number of recipients in a mail message and 95% of the administrators on this list are too lazy to have even considered implementing the registry change.

RE: Distribution List - what if 700+
Exchange is an excellent tool for large mailings. The Exchange 2000/IIS 5 SMTP engine is among the fastest spam engines on the planet. The Exchange 5.5 SMTP engine was no slouch either. Outlook contacts are limited to 1XX entries, which is an Exchange/Outlook issue, but good freaking luck in getting either group to claim ownership of the issue and resolve it. Anyway.. Since this is now an Outlook question I'll defer to the FAQ and point to www.slipstick.com as the appropriate point for research. However, without a compelling need for them to be contacts, a copy and paste from Visual-Inter-Notepad works with a minimum of muss and fuss.

RE: Distribution List - what if 700+
Yes, you're correct[0], the limit is 5,000 by default in E2K. They've also completely fscked the way DL expansion is counted against those limits in E2K. Q233376 But you'll be happy to know that according to MS the maximum number of recipients for SMTP mail is 2,000,000,000. You might be unhappy to know that Exchange 2000 developers chose to enable the minimum maximum for SMTP recipients as called for in the RFC by default, which at the very least is not in keeping with the spirit of RFC821.[1] Anyway... The default limit in E2K could be adjusted by administrators who care to, just as they could be set in the first place by administrators who care to in 5.5, but the same 95% of admins are still clueless.

RE: Distribution List - what if 700+
No, I mean a number between 100 and 199 which I can't remember off the top of my head and isn't exactly a fixed number to begin with in my experience. Anyway, for the purposes of this discussion 1XX means a number significantly lower than 700+.

It was a restriction/issue that popped up when I tried to make a DL with 700+ recp in it from contacts. That's when Exch cried... saw some Q's on technet about it, but no good answers why it would cry...Other then what Ive seen in the list here about Exch being a poor source for such large type mailing ...etc... I was really trying to do the DL so my user(s) could do mass e-mail and fax sending via OL2K without much other hoops for them to jump thru...this place is it's own 3 ring. thx bill GroupWise would have never cried ;-) -Original Message- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 3:13 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Distribution List - what if 700+ Well, if I were creating the e-mail, I'd know exactly what I'd configured in the registry the maximum number of recipients to be in a single message. So, I'd send it out with at least 1 fewer bcc recipient than that, and then I'd send out n more messages until I was done. But by default, Exchange has no limit on the number of recipients in a mail message and 95% of the administrators on this list are too lazy to have even considered implementing the registry change.

Export SMTP addresses to a txt file. Cut and paste to the BCC in Outlook. Done. -Original Message- From: MS Exchange Mailing List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 10:12 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Distribution List Greetings all... I need to send an html newsletter to about 200 associates external to the company. What is the easiest way to send such a message without too much effort. Creating a distribution list for this many contacts seems impractical. Is there a way to import smtp addresses to a distribution list from an external source such as a database? Would like to accomplish this without buying extra software, if possible. Thanks for your help. _ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin
