BCC Limit ?

I have used bcc feature within Mail many times before, but not lately. Now that I have upgarded to OS X Mavericks, perhaps there are some quirks or bugs in Mail that I don't know about. Today, I tried to send a large group email with my address in the FROM and TO fields, and I added 50 addresses to the BCC. The message was "sent" (whoosh sound and all), and indeed I have a copy of it in my SENT mail folder, and showing all the BCC addresses, but nobody received the email. When I tested the BCC feature again by sending only ONE address within BCC (and of course populating the TO field with my own address), it worked fine. Is there a limit imposed by Mail on the number of BCC addresses that can be sent at one time ?
After doing some research,  I then read about an alternative way to send BCC to a GROUP. The advice is to add a GROUP name to the TO list (not BCC), then make sure to UNCHECK the box in Mail > Preferences > Compose > When sending to a group, show all member addresses. I did this. While COMPOSING the message, the TO list showed only the NAME of the group, but when I clicked send, it sent the message to everybody, revealing all of the addresses to everyone. This is exactly what I was trying to PREVENT from happeneing ... Argggh !  Any thoughts ?

I can't explain the first, but the feature you talk about in the second case hasn't worked in Mavericks since it was released.
For the first, have you tried various number of recipients to see if you can identify a limit. Some ISPs restrict the number of recipients; maybe yours has recently changed the policy.
Mail would fail to send if one of the addresses was incorrectly formed; that might be something to look for as it might be successfully sending the To address, but fails the Bcc list and doesn't warn you. Seems odd, though.

  • In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

    In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

    To add the BCC field to the message window, create a new message, click the 'three lines' button near the to and from fields & select the 'BCC Address field' or choose the 'customise' option. This button may be a 'gear' on the older OS (I don't recall for 10.6.8 Mail).
    The BCC field is more likely to be limited by the email server than Mail app. If you add hundreds of addresses (or use large groups with many addresses) the email server may assume you are sending spam. Sometimes it causes the server to drop the message or bounce them, different providers also have different rules, so you need to use bcc & ccc with care.
    If you plan on doing mass mailing you would be better with a service that handles it correctly for you (i.e. sends multiple messages without using ccc or bcc).

  • How many addresses can i send an e mail to in one go? is there a limit?

    I am trying to send a mail to all my contacts in one go. is there a limit on how many addresses can be entered into the to/cc or bcc lines in one go?

    Every mail service provider imposes such limits. The limits for iCloud are given here:
    iCloud: Mail specifications
    For legitimate bulk mailing, you should use a hosted service such as "MailChimp."

  • Mail issue: not sending (addressed to multiple recipients in BCC

    Hi,
    I am having trouble sending a message to multiple recipients in the BCC field.  I am sending to myself in the To: box and many others in BCC.  It is not sending the message, either through my Mail program, nor through iCloud mail.  iCloud mail gives me  "Cannot send message.  This message cannot be sent at this time." messge, but no explanation why.  (iCloud mail seems to be working normally according to on-line status report).  My Mail program give me a, "Cannot send message using the server smtp.me.com:(username)
    The server "smtp.me.com" did not recognize the following recipients:  [followed by long list of recipients all separated by commas] though it doesn't list all the recipients in the field. 
    Could it be that I just have too many in the field?
    HELP!  I'm in a time-crunch on this one.
    It did send a test e-mail to me, just fine.  No other reipients listed.)

    AAARGH!  Nevermind!  I found the answer!  over the 100 recipients-at-a-time limit.

  • Is there a limit to number of recipients for an email?

    I need to send the same email to about 250 people.
    Is there a limit to the number of recipients Mail can handle in the BCC field?
    At the moment I can get all the address's from a spreadsheet as Comma separated text.
    Will this pasted into the BCC field work?
    Lion 10.7.2     Mail 5.1
    Thanks in advance

    You will need to check with your ISP; they may have limitations - mine does in order to cut down on spamming.
    Once you find out if/what that limit is, you can simply type and email once, copy the content, enter the addresses, and send out 5 - 10 - or whatever number of emails successively until you've sent it to all 250 people.
    I would create a group or at least have all the names/addresses in the Addressbook; that way, you can start typing the first name and Mail will automatically add the email address for that name. And yes, it is good to use BCC for that - send it to yourself and BCC everyone else.

  • Sending emails limited to 20 in BCC

    I have my own list of emails that I like to send messages to every now and again. it's only around 400 addresses but each time I send out I have to divide the list into groups of 20 addresses for each email. I know ISP's have a limit to prevent spam etc.
    Is there any option between contacting a company who specialize in bulk emails and the 20 limit I am experiencing with my ISP.
    Or putting it another way: How can I increase the number of recipients I put in the BCC field of a message. even if I could send say a 100 at a time it would make a big difference.
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    Thanks a brody.
    It's a good idea you suggested to ask my internet provider if they can offer an e-mail listserv as an additional way of getting people who are seriously interested.
    As far as the 20+ emails are concerned. whether what I am trying to achieve is frowned upon, unethical, intrusive, etc. doesn't bother me that much. At this stage I just want to know how it is done. The images of paintings that I send out in the messages are pleasant enough (drakebriscoe.com) and I have had only two recipients from the entire list so far ask to be unsubscribed, which any of them can do at any time if they wish and which I honor 100% so I don't have to feel too much of a villain... I wish I had the option to unsubscribe to the obtrusive TV ads thrust on us every day. Imagine if the TV channels were only able to broadcast ads to those who voluntarily subscribed to watch them. They would all close down over night.

  • MAIL / Address Book.....  sending more then 20  on BCC ....???

    Hello
    I have created a Group on my Mac Book for all my Media contacts, which are more than 100.
    When I create a mail, click on group "MEDIA" and drag it over to BCC, it only takes 20 at the time.
    Also, my friend has created a group "Clients" on her MacAir, and is trying to send about a monthly Newsletter. She has more than 200 clients, but each time she drags over the Group to BCC, it only takes 20 at the time.
    thanks for your help!

    Hi Ursula,
    Can you try Select all in the Group then drag all the names to BCC?
    Most ISPs have a limit of 50 to 100 BCCs anyway, so even if you do gwt them all in the field, it may not send btw.

  • Limit on number of addressees in one message?  (using Apple Mail)

    Is there a max number of addressees that can be contained in any one outgoing message? ..... i.e., if this limit is exceeded, the message will not be sent to any of the addressees.
    I use Gmail via Apple Mail 2.1.3. Gmail's limit is 500 addressees.
    Thanks.

    Hi Bob, I have read of a limit far less than that for Mail, but can't remember what it was.
    Is this in the To:, CC:, or BCC: entry btw?
    IIRC, using a Group instead of individual addies gets you more.

  • Problem with LIMIT in my query...

    I am sending this query with JSP to my Oracle database:
    SELECT pub, class, startdate, adtext FROM classifieds WHERE (pub='KWR') AND
    (startdate<='03-Jan-02') ORDER BY pub LIMIT 0, 25
    I keep getting the error:
    "Exception=java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended"
    If I remove the LIMIT 0, 25 it works just fine and returns all records, what am I doing wrong?

    numrows=>26 AND numrows<=50 I doubt that that will work either. But you can try. Oracle has something like that (although I am not sure is is called 'numrows'). However, it doesn't allow ranges. It allows you to return only the top ones (the less than expression) And it doesn't work with order by clauses.
    Someone, sometime ago, suggested a solution in this forum which solved both of these problems. If you search for the correct keyword (not 'numrows') you will likely find it.

  • Is there a limit of how many resources can be shared via a single Resource Pool in Project 2010 Professional standalone?

    We have a single master project resource pool of over 150 resources that are shared across let's say 10-15 sub projects or sharer files.
    We are using Microsoft Project Professional (standalone no project server)
    Are you aware of any limitations outside of project server with resource pool and sharing, or should we be using Project server (as I have read a lot of articles about resource pool sharing working better in project server)
    I'd like to get clarification on:
    1. I read that the calendars for resources (of which there could be many shift patterns etc.) should always be created in the master project only, not in the sharer files. In my testing I see that a shared resource also brings the additional calendars from
    the Master Project file - and can be chosen in the calendar column from Resource sheet.
    2. Each sharer file can have it's own specific project calendar, but the resource calendar (used by the assigned resources from the pool) will drive the scheduling (as per normal), unless;
    3. A specific task has a 'Task Calendar' applied to it AND "scheduling ignores resource calendars" is ticked.
    I am trying to find an article that addresses, in detail, the limitations or 'look out fors' in this area.  I have found plenty about how to create and share resources, but this is more troubleshooting.
    Any advice or direction that can be given would be appreciated. Thanks.

    No limit to resources, but linked master and resource pools are at high risk of file corruption if you rename, over-write or move a linked file without removing it from the master and pool first. Files will corrupt, its when not if.
    Master files should never have any resources or tasks in them, only inserted projects.
    I much prefer creating master files with the Link option deselected. This copies all data and consolidates resource info (so no pool needed). I record a macro to create new masters each week. This method has no corruption risk.
    Your alternative now is to experiment with Project Server. By far the best way to prototype a system is to get Project Online through Microsoft, ProjectHosts or Bemo. It will give you access to a vanilla project server very quickly and cost for a few months
    testing is trivial for a few users.
    If you go ahead with a full implementation I strongly recommend getting a qualified Project Server partner to help you implement the full system.

  • How can I get around the character limit in the "print pages" option

    I have a rather large PDF file and I need to print certain pages (for example, pages 1, 324, 456, 759, 812, 946, 1206, 1562, 1792, etc.). However, when I click on print and try to type in the pages, there is a character limit, and it is much smaller than the number of characters I need to type. Is there a way around this? Thanks.

    OK I figured out the answer. Ctrl+J opens up the console (You have to activate javascript). The following script will extract the pages into a new document, and then you can simply print those pages. All you need to do is fill up the "pageArray" array with a list of your pages, separated by commas. It does not support ranges.
    // Extracts all pages listed into a new document
    var pageArray = [INSERT YOUR LIST OF PAGE NUMBERS HERE, SEPARATED BY COMMAS];
    if (pageArray.length > 0) {
    var d = app.newDoc();    // this will add a blank page - we need to remove that once we are done
    for (var n = 0; n < pageArray.length; n++) {
    d.insertPages( {
    nPage: d.numPages-1,
    cPath: this.path,
    nStart: pageArray[n]-1,
    nEnd: pageArray[n]-1,
        // remove the first page
        d.deletePages(0);

  • How many Apps can i have on my iPod Touch, is there a limit?

    Is there a limit on how many Apps i can have on my iPod Touch?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks a lot, that was very helpful.
    I am pretty sure that there's 16 Apps per page,
    so...16 X 9 = 144 - 13 pre installed Apps.
    131 total available (slots) for Apps.

  • Posting period issue while deleting a confirmation posted for a limit PO

    Hi ..
    I am facing an issue whiel deleting a confirmation posted for a limit PO.
    Confirmation was posted for a limit PO in SRM and it created a service entry sheet in SAP. If I deleted that confirmation in the same posting period, then it is getting deleted. No issue here.
    But if I deleted that confirmation in the next posting period then the reversal document is going to error in process. RZ20 is showing the error "Positng only possible in periods 2012/2 and 2012/3".
    Posting date of reversal document is current date only and the backend posting period is 2012/3, but still it is failing with this posting period error.
    If I tried to delete a confirmation posted for a normal PO then I could able to delete it even in next posting period by just changing the posting date.
    Why this posting occurs while deleting the limit confirmation, even through the posting date is falls within the backenn posting periiod? Is it like, SAP system is trying to delete the service entry sheet in original posting period? Kindly help.
    I am in SRM 5.0 (server 5.5) SP12.
    Thanks,
    Arun

    OK.
    Well, if the variable is not used in any interval selection, then I would say "something happened to it".
    I would make a copy of the query and run it to check if I get the same problem with period 12.
       -> If not, something is wrong in the original query (you can proceed as below, if changes to original are permitted).
    If so, then try removing the variable completely from the query and hardcode restriction to 12.
       -> If problem still persists, I would have to do some thinking.
    If problem is gone, then add the variable again. Check.
       -> If problem is back, then the variable "is sick". Only quick thing to do, is to build an identical variable and use that one.
    If problem also happens with the new variable, then it's time to share this experience with someone else and consider raising an OSS.
    Good luck!

    P.S: what fisc year variant are you using?

  • Error while executing a report : Time limit exceeded

    Hello Experts,
    i have executed a report  and it took long time and finally throw an error saying that time limit is exceeded ,
    please suggest how to resolve the problem
    Thanks in Advance
    Nitya

    Hi Nitya H,
    There are many resons behind Time out issue.
    It is better to find where exaclty, our report is taking more time.
    Below are the some of the bottle necks we need to monitor for time out issue:
    1) OLAP query generation time.
    2) F4 Search time.
    3) Read Cache.
    4) Write Cache.
    Above features we can monitor @ RSRT transaction.
    If OLAP query generation time is taking much time means ,pls regenerate the query @ RSRT.
    For F4 search ,keep mater data as data retrival target.
    For Read Cache and Write Cache increase the query memory @ RSRT.
    Plse check the report and let me know if there is other bottle necks for query execution....
    _Note:_ This is just a high level view but we can have many performance drills...like Free char ,complex calculated key fig...etc..
    Hope this may helps you...
    Cheers,

  • Error while creating a new asset in BCC.

    Getting below errors while creating a new asset(catalog/category) through BCC. I have imported the required data from CIM and install.bat from BIZUI.

    Kindly suggest...

    As u imported data from CIM for production and publishing(assuming u imported for both), There is no need to run BIZUI.bat mannually, CIM runs this.
    Coming to ur error:
    From the logs  it seems that following mapMode is missing, It's OOTB and should have been loaded while Viewmapping repository data load.
    <add-item item-descriptor="mapMode" id="AmMmDef">
      <set-property name="name"><![CDATA[AssetManager.default]]></set-property>
    </add-item>
    I think there must have been problems during CIM data for publishing environment loading and because of that viemmapping is not loaded properly.
    Refer to this post for initial data load : Re: ATG ENVIRONMENT SETUP ISSUE
    Let us know if u didn't load publishing using CIM, there is some manual work required to load some repository.
    Thanks,
