Sending mail to a large group

I have a large group in my address book and tried to mail a message to the group - it appears to have crashed it. Is there a limit? Is it about my internet connection?

Your email provider limits the number of email addresses you can send to at once, so it's likely you exceeded that limit, thus causing their server to hang. Check with them to find out that limit, then try reducing the number of recipients your sending to in that group to that number or less.

  • Sending mail to a contact group with a numeric name

    Hello!
    I have a problem when sending mail to a contact group. The contact group is named "1234", and in Mail the autocompletion of the address is not performed successfully.
    However, if I rename the group to "A1234" then it all works. Sounds like a bug to me.
    Also, I have 31 people in my contact group. And, when adding the "A1234" group in the To: field - not all in the contact group are added. (And yes, they all have valid email addresses)
    This also sounds like a bug to me. Or, am I missing something?
    I should also add that when - in the address book - I select the group and "Send email to group", not all people in the group are added either...
    Cheers,
    / Peter

    Hi NeoCK,
    According to your description, you can access your report successfully, but it fail to send e-mail subscription. Right?
    In this scenario, since you can access the report successfully, so this user has permission on report server. Please go to E-mail setting in your Reporting Services Configuration Manager, check if the current user has permission on that SMTP server.
    If this is still not working, please recreate the subscription and try again.
    Reference:

  • Problem sending mail to large group

    I've got problems sending an email to a large group of recepients using 'Mail'. The mailserver rejects the mail. How should it be done to send a mail to a large group?

    What are you calling a "large group"? Servers usually have limits on the number of emails you can send per hour. Try sending to just a small group of 50 or 100 addresses and see if that works.

  • How to send an e-mail to multiple sharepoint groups in a SP2013 workflow

    I'm trying to create a workflow in designer 2013 that sends an e-mail to multiple users bases on a few sharepoint groups.
    However if a user is member of 2 sharepoint groups he/she will appear twice in the "to field" of the e-mail.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this would be much appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi Jan,
    According to you description, my understanding is that you want to send email to user who exist in two groups once using workflow.
    If a user exist in the group, the email workflow will send the mail to the member in the group, it is reasonable.
    As a workaround, I suggest you send mail to the specific user independently and then create a new group without the repeat user, then you can send mail to the new group.

  • Large group mailout problem...

    I am trying to send a mail to a large group from mail v 2.0.5 but it will not send. I have tried various accounts but it will not go from any. I constantly get a message saying that it cannot be sent with that server after a very long wait.
    Can anyone help with this?
    Is there a maximum amount of people that you can send a group message to?

    I had already tried that, my isp says it has a limit of 200 recipients for any single mail, i have therefore changed one big group to blocks of 150 recipients per group.
    This still does not work! I have tried every account i own & still no joy, i have also tried every other fix i can find on this forum but none seem to work.
    i have uncovered another much longer thread than this with a few other people reporting similar problems so this leads me to believe it is a mail/ osx issue that needs resolving.
    Come on apple, listen to your users here, this is ridiculous! no other mail app has this sort of problem !
    any other workarounds that people may have would be gladly tried!

  • Set Send to permissions on distribution groups through powershell

    We have an Exchange 2013 environment on which we have created distribution groups with powershell.
    However I can't figure out how we can configure the "send to" permissions for these distribution groups.
    What we want is for Exchange to look at CustomAttribute3 in a user account, and if that attribute meets the set requirements the user will have permission to send mail to this distribution group.
    Can anyone help me with this issue? Is there a powershell command I can use to configure this?
    kind regards,
    kevin

    Hi kevin,
    You can use the following cmdlet to configure the distribution group to accept messages only from the specific users.
    Set-DistributionGroup -Identity "DGName" -AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom "xxx","xxx"
    What's more, I am afraid that the -AcceptMessagesOnlyFrom parameter does not accept the custom attribute. Your understanding will be appreciated.

  • Cannot Send Mail to Distribution Group

    We are running Exchange 2013 and have a problem where users are getting NDR reports when trying to send mail with a small attachment a Universal Distribution Group. The message received back is:
    Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:
    _Group ([email protected])
    The recipient won't be able to receive this message because it's too large.
    The maximum message size that's allowed is 2 MB. This message is 3 MB
    Why are messages to distribution groups capped at 2MB and how can I increase it to at least 10?

    Hi Will,
    Check the distributiongroup maxreceivesize parameter. With Powershell.
    Get-DistributionGroup -Name <Name> | FL
    It can be changed using:
    Set-DistributionGroup -Name <Name> -MaxReceiveSize XXXXX
    It can also be changed in the Exchange Administreative Center here:
     Recipients > Mailboxes > EditEdit icon > Mailbox features > Mail flow > Message size restrictions > View details > Received messages
    You can Refer to this link for further Exchange 2013 Message size limits.

  • Cannot send large group emails.

    My mail program will not send emails to large groups. I get the message: Cannot send message using the server mail.insightbb.com. It will send them to small groups (5 or 6 names). This has only happened over the last week or so. Before that, I had no problem with these same large group emails.
    I have contacted my ISP (Insight Cable), and they said they couldn't find any problem with their settings and that it sounded like an Apple problem.
    Can anyone advise me?
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3)  

    I have solved the problem for one of my large group e-mails. By subdividing the listing into small groups and sending out test messages, I identified one address that kept being rejected. I discovered that one was missing the .com extension. When I corrected that address, the entire group could be sent. I wish the rejection message would have identified the 1 out of 45 addresses that was causing the problem. So far, however, I can't find anything wrong with an address in the other problem group. I guess I'll have to carry out the same sort of test--but there are 200 names in that group!

  • Since upgrade to iOS 7 Email error on over 100KB emails "Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large." Connecting to Exchange via Activesync

    Hi,
    Following the upgrade to iOS 7.0.3 on all our iPhone and iPad devices, it has been identified that when sending emails around 100KB in size and over an error message appears on the device stating “Cannot Send Mail  The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.” See error message below. The send/receive limit is over 10MB so this is not the issue.
    We are in an Exchange Environment using Microsoft Activesync. This issue is not evident in iOS 6. This has been tested on an iPhone 3GS running version iOS 6.1.3. We have been unable to repeat the issues seen on iOS 7 on the older OS. It is not possible to roll back to the older operating system as Apple are no longer signing the software.
    We use Microsoft Active Sync to connect to our Exchange servers through a TMG. The issue is very inconsistent, some identical emails go through, some fail. This is not an issue with the send/receive limit as this is over 10MB. The error message when it fails on the TMG is Status: 413 Request Entity Too Large, which we believe is from IIS on the CAS server.
    Does anyone have any suggest course of actions to take?
    Many Thanks

    This resolution have to attend at the server not with the ios device. My employer's mail administrator reject me to correct it from the server. As his concern is, if ither ios devices works why don't mine? So I am helpless than changing my iphone. It works fine for early versions of ios and with androids. And also one of my friends iphone4 with ios 7 (similar as mine) works too. So I guess it's something wrong with my iPhones settings. But basic question I cannot understand is it works in my phone before this ios7 upgrading. And currently working with my yahoo account too. Favourable reply expected.

  • Sending an email to a group using Mail

    Hi,
    On my mac, to send an email to a group, I just type in the name of the group in my address book and all the emails pop up instantly. However, this doesn't happen when sending an email on my iPhone. Is there a way to send group emails using my iPhone? I have the address book synced so all my contacts and groups are in the address book on the iPhone the same as my mac. Thanks

    Not directly using the Mail app, no. There are 3rd party apps that provide that function, for example:

  • Cannot send mail to a group if hiding addresses

    I can't send mail to a group unless I show all member addresses. If I uncheck this preference I recieve the following error dialogue:
    This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    Sending the message content to the server failed.
    Very frustrating and infuriating for my reciepients. Any ideas?

    Thank you Klaus,
    In mail help, Bcc is indicated as an alternative to unchecking the box saying show names in group when sending. Any ideas as to why the preference doesn't work?

  • Trouble sending mail to a group

    HI, I set up a new group in my mail program and when I try to send it an error comes up saying "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    Sending the message content to the server failed."
    I believe I have all my settings correct since I can send and receive mail to individuals with no problem. Does anyone know why I can't send an email to a group?
    Thanks

    Beth,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    Are you using 10.3.9, as your system info reports?
    A likely explanation is that you have one or more addresses, where there is a comma that is delimiting an address in a problematic way. This would most often happen, if in front of the email address, the names were listed as Howell, Beth<[email protected]>. In such a case "Howell" is stranded by the comma, and first treated as an address, all by itself, but then this is recognized as an invalid form, and sending it not attempted with any of the other, valid, addresses. Proof your list, very carefully, for this.
    This is different from a failure due to obsolete address.
    However, other problems can arise from the number of recipients, and the SMTP you are using. How many recipients are in the group?

  • When I enter a group name into the Bcc field and try to send the message, I get "[group name] is not a valid e-mail address..."

    Been using the same template to send a weekly newsletter for a year or two but now with a recent update to Thunderbird the group name is rejected when I try to send the message:
    With a group name in Bcc field, when I press "Send" and try to send the message, I get this alert: "[group name] is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail."

    This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
    Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
    The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
    '''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
    Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
    * While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
    * Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
    * Downgrade to a previous version and disable automatic updates (Windows)
