Betty,

This is the only time i have tried to send to 16 respondents recently. I can't even remember when the last time was. As I noted in my post, I couldn't do it from ATT or my Gmail account (although they returned different seemingly incorrect errors message, neither attempt would clear my desktop. The error messages popped up instantly and the email continued to remain on my desktop, unmailable until I tried sending from my comcast account. Now I have people replying to an account that I never use nor want to use ... :(

Because the SPAMMERS know how to send out millions of emails at a time, I can't occasionally generate just one email to 16 of my friends???? If they can do it maliciously, why can't I do it for friendly purposes?

Being able to CC, BCC a group is supposed to be the STRENGTH of email! I already have 3 non-work related email service providers... and I don't want to even use my third one .. the comcast acct. since I change broadband connections now and then. Getting a fourth, then a fifth email account sounds like a bad dream...

My computing experience says there is always a workaround to almost every computing conundrum.

I'm assuming I'm running into some kind of mail server SPAM guard and I was wondering if anyone knows exactly what's happening and how to work around it. ?

I am using  Thunderbird 1.5 to conduct  email services to and from an
ATT mail server (or a Gmail server) via my COMCAST broadband
connection. When I try to send an email to15 BBCed  addresses from my
ATT address, I get this error message "the mail server responded:
[SUSPEND] /*Mailbox* *currently* *suspended* - Please contact
correspondent directly./ Your email service is *suspended*. Please
contact your provider."

Your email provider may have targeted you as a spammer for sending email to a long list of recipients. 15 addresses isn't many, but your provider may assume differently. AOL, as well as other ISPs, also limits email to what they consider to be too many recipients at once.

It's not Thunderbird. Contact ATT. They are the problem. Then get another email provider that you can use to send multiple emails. Try GMail, etc.
