How many emails is "multiple emails"? Most ISPs/email providers limit the number of addressees as a spam blocking mechanism. I don't know what hotmail's limit is but some limit to 5 addressees. Keep in mind that it could be hotmail or your ISP that is limiting the number of addressees.

32 is a lot and most ISPs/email providers will block that many. Try 5 to see if that works. If 5 works try 10. Keep trying until you reach the limit set by your ISP/email provider. Or, just call your ISP and ask them what their limit is.

I don't know about all email systems but iCloud has the following limits.

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)

So 32 addresses in one message would be less than a third of the addresses allowed.

Depends on the email provider, you should check with Hotmail what the limits are.

You should also change to a more up to date email provider.

The block is generated by Hotmail, not Mac Mail.

Hotmail have provided instructions as to how to validate and unblock your computer (in the email you received), this is the time to follow them.

Nice to know. My ISP/email provider limit is 5. There are email services that don't have limits, my corporate server is one for example. The OP is apparently using Hotmail but we don't know what ISP.

Maybe the OP could use iCloud to get around his issue.

He can and should get away from Hotmail, it is archaic.

You have a Hotmail problem, you need to contact them, we can not help.

Change your (useless) email system to one that works properly. Try iCloud.
