BT Yahoo! Mail Help Please

Sorry, this isn't very 'techie' but it's driving me mad - hope someone has the answer (BT Yahoo help is hopeless!)

I have a separate 'contact' list for a group I email regularly with 53 folk in it. Last time I emailed a bulletin it only emailed 48 of those people. WHY?

I've looked for a commonality within the people it missed but I can't find one, it wasn't alphabetical, it wasn't the last people to be added to the group, their names are listed as part of the group. Obviously, I could create a new group but that rather defeats the object of having a group in the first place IYSWIM.

Any suggestions very welcome.

Thank you!

    Some ISPs have limits on the no of people that may be sent on one email. The reason is to control attempts to spam.

    I don't know what the Yahoo/BTyahoo limit is, but if you are sending out emails like this you do run the risk of being categorised as a spammer.

    I would re-organise your distribution list into 2/3 and try sending out as two/three emails instead, safer and may well resolve your problem.

    and the way to test this is to add or delete one contact to or from the list. If it still only mails 48, then it's fairly certain that 48 is the ISP limit.
