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.
