email TO: field

I would like to know if anyone knows the limit of email addresses that can
be put into this field or the limit on the number of characters that can be
put into this field.

Are there any other limitations that I need to consider? I am trying to set
up a newsletter with a subscribe and unsubscribe page. I need to know if I
need to monitor the number of email addresses in the list to make sure that
all people on the list receive the newsletter.

I would also like to know how intense it would be on the system to send a
separate email to each member on the list rather than as one big block. I
think that it would actually be better to send out individual emails so that
the email addresses on the list are not passed out to everyone on the list.

Thanks,
JML

Use MailMessage.Bcc to hide the email addresses. This makes certain
that you don't pass all the email addresses to everyone on the list.
There's no hard limit for the MailMessage.To or MailMessage.Bcc
strings.

I have been asked by Peter Huang to respond to this newsgroup telling
everyone if this information was helpful. I haven't used it yet, and I
wasn't experiencing any bugs or errors, but I believe this is good
information. The Bcc is a great idea! The information about the string
validates what a coworker/codeveloper said. So, I believe it to be true.

Thank you, Randy, for the help.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
