We do have a maximum number of recipients within a timeframe.  It is one of our defenses when someone has compromised their credentials and the account gets used for spam.   There is an error message that should be generated when the limit is exceeded, per: http://techbase.msu.edu/article.asp?id=10902#s79659

We were asked to keep details to a minimum. I believe this is to encourage the use of proper bulk mail tools for MSU purposes and to avoid abuse from outside parties (spammers using compromised credentials).

Good morning,
 
I’ve been searching the techbase without much luck, so I thought I’d ask the experts on MSUNAG.  I want to know what the restrictions are on student accounts regarding the total number of email addresses allowed in the To: and BCC: fields when they sent out email messages.  At the Law College, our Admissions department has been recruiting students to do some email and social media outreach to current applicants and prospective students.  They’ve been running into some issues with regard to the number of addresses in the To: and BCC: fields, so I want to understand what restrictions there are, so I can advise them better. 
 
Anyone who can point me to a techbase article that describes the specific limits, I would be most grateful to you.  (I’ve already read the Mass Email guidelines document, which doesn’t appear to include that specific information.)  Thanks.
