Dear HotMail postmasters,
Cranfield hosts a mailing list of MBA students, and a number of
these have their mail forwarded to hotmail.com addresses. A recent
posting to the list produced the bounce below, which is a bit surprising.
Do you have a limit on the number of RCPTs in a single transaction?
(According to SMTP standards you should accept at least 100). But if that
limit is less than 10 how do are managers of medium/large email discussion
lists supposed to cope?
Or is this just a temporary failure, and not the consequence of a poorly
designed anti-spam mechanism?

Dear All.
One or two people have had to pull out of the ball last
minute which is a shame but not a problem, yet.
However, we will be confirming numbers and costs to Woburn
first thing Wednesday morning.
After we have confirmed numbers & costs, we will not be
able to give refunds or change food & drink orders. This is
because we have done our utmost on your behalf to spend all
of the money, so there wont be any left to refund....
Also, we do now have a few spare tickets if anyone
wants to invite friends etc. First come first serve. email
me.
