Why should we bother when you can't be bothered to provide any details?


"My car won't go. ????? Anybody???"

"I don't feel good. ????? Anybody???"

"I can't get no satisfaction. ????? Anybody???"

Get it?

Without the entire error message, we can only guess. But, CrystalBall©
says you are trying to sent to more recipients at one time than your
ISP/Mail Server allows.

I was not having a go at Bruce, but at the OP.

As far as I am concerned Bruce is one of the Good Guys in this and the MS
groups who volunteer assistance with admirable patience.

No, "too many recipients" is a specific error message which will have a
specific cause. "I can't send email" is vague but "too many recipients" will
match an entry in the MS list of error messages.

It would still be useful to find out how many recipients he was trying to
send to. However I wonder whether it does the same to different ISPs - could
it be an ISP restriction rather than a WIndows Mail one.

I've come across "too many recipients" once since 1995 and it was because I
had a backdoor trojan. My guess is that this cocky prick need to scan his
box with a good AV or malwarebytes before he goes crying to Usenet.

Windows Mail does not care how many recipients one sends to. I am not
aware of any e-mail client that does. ISPs do, and the number each allows
varies.

I'm pretty sure it WON'T be in any Microsoft error list - it's a mail
server error, not a mail agent error.

One would think a smart person would include that tidbit among the rest
of the pertinent details when asking a technical question. This bozo
would rather let people guess.
