What is the max amount of email addresses that you can send an email

Hello Lizet,

Good day!

Thank you for reaching out to us about your email sending needs. I understand that you have a business that requires you to send emails to a large number of contacts on a monthly basis, and you're wondering about the maximum number of email addresses you can send an email to at one time.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, and I'm happy to provide you with more information on this topic.

The maximum number of email addresses you can send an email to at one time depends on your Microsoft 365 subscription. This limit is in place to prevent spam and ensure the security of email accounts.

Recipient Limits in Microsoft 365

The maximum number of recipients you can send an email to depends on the type of subscription you have. Here are the general limits:

Microsoft 365 Business Standard/Business Premium

• Maximum recipients per message: 500

• Daily recipient limit (total emails sent to all recipients): 10,000

Microsoft 365 Enterprise (E1, E3, E5)

• Maximum recipients per message: 1,000

• Daily recipient limit: 10,000

Exchange Online Plan 1 & Plan 2

• Maximum recipients per message: 1,000

• Daily recipient limit: 10,000

Custom Domain with Microsoft 365 (SMTP Relay)

• If you use an SMTP relay or a third-party service integrated with your custom domain, the recipient limits might differ depending on how the configuration is set up.

What This Means for You

Given that you have close to 3,000 contacts, sending one email to all of them at once exceeds the maximum recipient limit (500 or 1,000, depending on your plan). To address this:

1. Divide Your Recipients:
   Split your contact list into smaller groups that align with your subscription's recipient-per-message limit (e.g., 500 or 1,000 contacts). Send the email to each group separately.

2. Consider Using a Bulk Email Solution:
   If you frequently need to send emails to large lists, I recommend using a service like Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing. This platform is designed for bulk email campaigns and allow higher recipient limits while offering advanced features like analytics and email customization.

3. Monitor Daily Limits: Ensure you stay within the daily recipient limit of 10,000 to avoid delays or email delivery issues.

Please understand that our initial response may not always resolve the issue immediately. However, with your help and more detailed information, we can find a solution together.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding, and thank you for your time and cooperation. Have a nice day!

Thank you for being part of the Microsoft community.

Hello Lizet,

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to follow up on our previous conversation regarding the maximum number of email addresses you can send an email to at one time.

I hope the information I provided earlier was helpful in understanding the recipient limits for your Microsoft 365 subscription. I also suggested dividing your recipients into smaller groups, considering a bulk email solution, and monitoring daily limits to ensure you stay within the allowed limits.

Do you have any further questions or concerns regarding this issue?

If you need more assistance or have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to help.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

If one is using an outlook email as a personal email, what is the limit? I'm trying to send out a newsletter for a volunteer group - the most I will be sending is to 70 email addresses. Why does my outlook limit; in fact, tonight it would not let me send ANY email to the list.

Hello,

Outlook is blocking me from sending meeting invites in bulk. How do I see my progress towards the daily limit? My distribution is to two groups with less than 400 members each. This is for an HR Networking & Job Search weekly call and I have all of these people in my contact list.

We limit the number of recipients for an email message to help free the world from spammers. We're sorry that it's getting in your way.

This message does not help me resolve the problem.

Please help,

-Frank

recently, outlook has limited the number of recipients to about 40. I do not have 365. Is this correct or is this a glitch?

Lee

How do I organize the email addresses? put a semi-colon in between each name? Is that sufficient or do you do the list some other way?

Can you send to 40 people a lot of times or just 40 people a day?

How do I tell which Microsoft I have?

Which Microsoft do I have?

Men de stopper jo en mail til under 100 modtagere selv om man betaler for 365.
