How do I avoid "452 Too many recipients" delivery failure from Outlook?


Question

Greetings

I have around 9.000 contacts and I would like to send them newsletter but when I'm trying to send e-mail to all my contacts I get:

"452 too many recipients"

 

Is there any way via Microsoft Outlook to send the e-mail for example to 100 contacts first after 2 minutes send to another 100 contacts until it gets finished sending to all 9000 contacts?

Sending that sort of lump mail is the fastest way to get you spam blacklisted any way.

You'd be better off enlighsting in a service that sends this for you. Look at something like MailChimp.

I would agree with the sentiments of +MikeChipshop and forget using Outlook for something it's not very good at.

 

I once wrote some vb to send from the contacts but it broke on every update of Outlook I gave up. 

 

At least using MailChimp or another service you can properly handle unsubscribes and are less likely to be blocked as spam.

Yeah, Office365 even limits you to 10K per day to prevent this type of "abuse". In general, this is controlled at the mail sever regardless. Mail services are your best way to solve this.

As for Outlook, there is no way that I know of now but maybe if you knew the limit you could split up the list accordingly. Say do one at 5000 and another at 4000 or in more if needed. Another is the BCC area which is what you should be using. Some services do t count those. So tpu send the email to yourself via the To field and bcc the whole list.

2000 or less is free so you would need 5 accounts or the middle tier paid account. There are other services like http://www.mailgun.com which has a 10k limit per month for free.
