I have Mail.app setup with several dfferent IMAP accounts from my own domain...they are all fully functional as far as receiving mail goes but recently I sent out a message to roughly 200 friends/family (addressed to myself / bcc'd the recipients) and the Mail.app has responded with a few popup dialogs stating:
"Cannot send message using the server mail.xxxx.com"
or
"4.5.3 Too many recipients"
I deleted and reset the outgoing server several times to no avail as stated in this help doc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303799.
and also tried sending messages to smaller amounts of people (>50)...which worked twice and then stopped working again. sometimes i cannot even send a message to 1 recipient...it is behaving quite quirky and don't know what to make of it...
What I don't understand is that through the web-based squirrelmail on this same account, there has never been a limit on recipients and i'm able to successfully make this group email, but shouldn't i be able to do the same w/Mail.app? Is this an issue with Mail.app or the mail server?
sorry for the mind spray, hope that makes sense..and thanks in advanced for any suggestions.
