I have good news with the Notify Filter bug. I did some testing on our 7.6.04 system and have found that it is no longer truncating To data to 256 characters in the Notify filters.

We keep hoping and checking the release notes. Haven't seen any reference to it being changed. As we get ready to upgrade to a new version it's something we test to see if we can go back to the Notify workflow. Still seems to be there.

That was a "bug" back in 6.3. BMC still has not fixed it? I thought it had been fixed so I am glad this came up as part of the discussion.

I think it's still in 7.6.04. You can have a large character filed for the To: on your form. The To: field on the AR System Email messages form is also large character field. However a bug in the Notification workflow trims the data to 256 characters. So if your combined email addresses in the To:, CC: or BCC: are longer than 256 characters, they will get trimmed to 256 characters when they hit the AR System Email Messages form. The work around is to push directly to the AR System Email Messages form.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, since the email engine is just passing onto SMTP or whatever and properly formatted lists of email addresses should work. I would just caution you that you may not want to be responsible for maintaining those lists in Remedy rather than Exchange.

I don't want to reply on it if it's not an expected behavior, though. The reason: I need for a particular notice to some addresses to be sent as one email, not separate ones for each user.
