Email recipient limit

The email recipient limit, also known as the "To" field limit, is the maximum number of email addresses that can be specified in the "To" field of an email message. This limit varies depending on the email service provider, email client, or email server being used.

Here are some common email recipient limits:

  1. Gmail: 100 recipients per message (including CC and BCC fields)
  2. Yahoo Mail: 100 recipients per message (including CC and BCC fields)
  3. Outlook.com: 100 recipients per message (including CC and BCC fields)
  4. Microsoft Exchange: 100 recipients per message (including CC and BCC fields)
  5. SMTP servers: Typically 100-500 recipients per message, depending on the server configuration
  6. Email clients: Some email clients, like Mozilla Thunderbird, have a default limit of 100 recipients per message, but this can be increased or decreased depending on the client settings.

If you need to send an email to more than the allowed number of recipients, you can use one of the following workarounds:

  1. Split the email list: Divide your recipient list into smaller groups and send separate emails to each group.
  2. Use a mailing list service: Services like Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or Campaign Monitor allow you to send emails to large lists of recipients.
  3. Use a bulk email service: Services like Sendinblue, Mailgun, or SparkPost provide APIs and tools for sending large volumes of emails.
  4. Use a custom solution: If you have a large email list and need to send emails to all recipients at once, you may need to develop a custom solution using programming languages like Python, Java, or C#.

Remember to always follow email best practices and anti-spam guidelines when sending emails to large numbers of recipients.
