Number of contacts in Smart Group

i have a smart group set up for our store customers.
it has gone over the relay limit for our email provider and i am looking at other options. the problem is that pricing is based on the number of folks in your contact list. i could print the group and count them, but it seems as if there should be an easy way to ask the address book how many contacts are in the Smart Group.
however, i haven't been able to figure it out.
any suggestions?
thanks

I do not have the answer to this, but I certainly am frustrated by the problem, which I share with you.
Mail will not send out a Seasons Greetings email blast to 50 people. I have Time Warner Cable and their policy is:
Question:
Are there any e-mail restrictions?
Answer:
Yes. To ensure that our e-mail service performs well, we have placed restrictions on the size of e-mail sent and received. Each of your e-mail addresses has an "In Box" that accommodates 10 MB of e-mail and will hold e-mail only for 60 days. However, these limitations rarely affect subscribers because they can use Outlook Express to download e-mail from the “In Box” and store it on their computer. Likewise, there is a 10 MB limitation on the size of any e-mail message that you send. In an effort to prevent spam, we also restrict the number of recipients for a single e-mail.
Subscribers can send e-mails of up to 30MB in total message size, including attachments. Subscribers are allowed to send e-mails to up to 1,000 recipients every 24 hours per IP address. E-mails can have up to 99 recipients in each of the To and CC fields.
For more information, visit our Road Runner Web Mail FAQ page located at http://help.rr.com.
So, I am not in violation of the "99 recipients rule" with Time Warner. So, I must conclude it is Mail that is imposing the limitation.
Does anyone know anything about this, or can suggest a work-around.

Using Mountain Lion (OS 10.8), in Contacts, how can I show a count of number of contacts total and/or number of contacts in a group?

If you scroll the list to the bottom, there might be a count. I haven't figured out why you sometimes get a count and other times you don't.

Limits on Sending Messages
iCloud has several safeguards to ensure that only iCloud members can send messages using the iCloud outgoing mail server. Among these safeguards are reasonable limitations on:
The total number of messages you can send each day (200 messages)
The number of recipients to whom you can send each day (1000 recipients)
The maximum number of recipients per message (100 recipients)
The size of incoming and outgoing messages (20 MB)
You can send 10 emails to 100 people each in a day, for example, or 198 messages with, on average, 5 recipients (and five ninety-ninths).

Remove contact from Smart Group???

How do I remove cards from a Smart Group without totally deleting them from the address book?
Here's my situation: I've got all my media contacts in a smart group by adding "media" to notes; but now I've also got several contact cards in the group that have the word media in their address, but who aren't media-related (i.e. [email protected]) or who have "mediator" elsewhere in their card.
I don't want to have to cull out 20 -25 addresses everytime I mail to this group.
thanks

You should be able to select them and drag them to the group you want them in; for example, from "Smart Group" to another group name you have or create.

Email to multiple addresses for contacts in smart groups

I have smart groups set up that i send regular emails to. Recently people have been telling me that they are not getting my emails. I researched and noted that all emails are in each contact file, but when I send an email to a selected group only the first email address on the contact's email list is being picked up and included on the mail "to" line. How do I automatically have the program pick up all the email addresses? Thanks!

This is what I was afraid of. This distribution list is huge (big HS team) and each contact has three or four email addresses. This seems like a no brainer, I'm surprised that no one at Apple has been frustrated by this and come up with a solution! Thanks for your input - I appreciate it!

TS3276 Is there a limit to the number of contacts in a group?

I keep getting the message that the addresses are bad (they aren't, have gone through each one). I divided the group in 2 with 98 in each...
Thank you

Austin, I figured it out! Thank you for your help.
It was a combination of 3 things:
*bad email addresses (but not all of them)
*too many being sent at once, once I divided the list into segments under 50, it sent.
*a finicky smtp setup.
Thank you so much for your help...

Is there a limit to the number of contacts you can put in a group?

When I set up a distribution list on my PC, I was limited as to how many addresses I could have. Does the contact software on an iMac limit you to the number of contacts in a group? Can it be 200?

That would make sense as LaunchPad doesn't have a scrolling view. It should only allow as many as can be displayed on a single page.

Display number of contacts in Group

In the new Mountain Lion Contacts, how can you see the number of contacts in any group? This used to be visible in older versions.
Thank you

It is a nebulous minimum. Not documented and randomly adhered to.
Here's one with one contact:
And here's another with slightly more than a window full:
Besides All Contacts, I only have one that has a count, and that is 54.

In a Smart Group in AddressBook 6.1, how do I designate which email addresses I want to use?

In a Smart Group in AddressBook 6.1, how do I designate which email address I want to use for contacts who have more than one address when I'm mailing to the whole group? The "Edit Distribution List" is grayed out.

Thanks, Barney, but that's not really my question. The "Edit Distribution List" is in the Edit menu on my version, too, but I can't use it to edit the email addresses of contacts who are in Smart Groups. In the version of AddressBook I was using before I bought a new MacBook Pro and upgraded to Mac OSX Lion, I could use the "Edit Distribution List" to pick which email address I wanted to use for contacts in Smart Groups with more than one address. Apparently that isn't an option in Lion. The Help menus for AddressBook 6.1 even say that "Edit Distribution Lists" doesn't work for Smart Groups.
Okay. I get that. But some of my contacts have more than one email address, so how do I choose which email address I want Mail to use for these contacts when I send an email to a Smart Group they're in?

Hi,
To get the depth using JMS you must create a QueueBrowse and browse the entire queue. Its generally horribly inefficient if you want to do it with any regularity.
In Hermes I have had to write plugins that open separate connections to providers using their non-JMS APIs or JMX and get that kind of information that way.
Look at the getDepth() method in this JBoss plugin for an example that uses JMX:

And here is one for WebSphereMQ that uses one of its many APIs..

I am sending emails to a Smart Group created in my address book. The contact in my address book has multiple email addresses. Is there a way for the email to go to both addresses? (ex: work and home email address under one contact)

In my address book, I have contacts that have multiple email addresses. (ex: home and work) I have created a smart group off of the company name in the contact. When I send emails, I want it to go to both email address listed in the contact. Is there a way to make this happen? Or do I have to have a separate contact for each email address?

I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

Is there a maximum number of contacts in an Address Book group?

I have 4,367 contacts. I'm trying to create two different groups, one for my wife and one for me. The majority of the 4,367 contacts will be in my group.
I've tried several time but keep getting the same result.
On the iCloud website I create a new group with my name.
I copy several letters worth of names (say the As through the Cs) from All Contacts lists to the David list.
Everything works fine until I finish the Rs, with about 3,800 contacts. I've tried it signing in and out and everything sticks and looks fine.
From then on every name I add appears under the R banner (see below) and, once I sign out and sign back in, disappears.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
I'm using a 6 month old 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 running OS 10.7.4. Not experiencing problems in any other area.

Thanks for the link. I don't think it's a space issue. When I look at my iCloud account through System Preferences it shows that I've got 24.99GB of 25GB available (it's just the Contacts and a personal Calendar).
The rules on limits, though, are really confusing. Total number of contacts 25,000 - I can understand that. Maximum size of a contact card 256KB - ok, I see how if you have War and Peace in the notes section that would be a problem. But what does it mean that maximum size of a contact group is 256KB? That's the same size limit as a single card so I assume they're referring to the size of the list of contact cards in the group. But how many contact cards equals 224KB?!? Based on experience, I'm guessing it equals about 3,800 contact names (which frankly doesn't seem like a lot to me - I've been collecting contacts since I got my first Palm Pilot in 1996, which comes to around 225 names a year, not a lot if you're in business).
Anyway, thanks for the help. If I run across a solution somewhere, I'll post it.

Can I limit the number of Contacts by syncing just an Address Book Group?

My Mac Address Book has 3000+ entries (yes, I use it for all kinds of info) which is fine on the Mac but is unusably slow on the iPhone 3G. It's also too many entries to sync with the Parrot Minikit Slim Bluetooth Car Kit, which has a limit of 2000 entries. So I need to cut my iPhone contacts down to a much smaller size.
Is there a way that I can limit the number of Contacts on the iPhone by syncing just a 'Group' from my Mac Address Book? Or can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks.

Thank you very much Joe.
Just goes to show how little I know about the iTunes/iPhone sync system
Now I can just create a smaller 'Group' of my key contacts and keep them in sync with the iPhone - the answer to my prayers.

Is it possible to create a Smart Group in Contacts and email it to one person?

I have created a Smart Group of certain family members and want to email that information to another family member who does not have contacts. Is there a wauy to do this?

Although this helped, I was unable to get a file of just the contacts I wanted. This wanted to send my entire AB.
Perhaps I did something wrong, although I can't see what it would have been. Dragged the icon to the body of email, and it showed the entire AB, in random order. I was using gmail, so I'll try eMail this time. Thanks for taking the time to respond.first

Can I use smart groups in icloud contacts?
