That includes the To, Cc, and Bcc fields combined. The daily limit is 10,000 recipients in a 24 hour period. Email accounts are also restricted to 30 messages per minute (which applies to mail merge software, etc.). Create a Sympa list for large mailings since sending to a Sympa distribution list only counts as one (1) recipient and one (1) message. | --- ### Need Support? --- ### Service Details --- ### More Info ---
