Pam, Here are the stats for Mail Drop:
Limits on sending messages There are several safeguards in place to make sure that only iCloud members can send messages using iCloud. One of these safeguards includes reasonable limits on: The total number of messages you can send each day (200 messages) The number of recipients you can message each day (1000 recipients) The maximum number of recipients per message (100 recipients) The size of incoming and outgoing messages (20 MB, up to 5 GB with Mail Drop <http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2629> turned on) Thanks again, I may as well give this a try and see if it works..
