What's the reasoning behind that number? (330-)
I'm about to implement something similar, using BCC (since the emails
don't need to be personalized). I've searched in the past for the
answers to 2 questions, but haven't had any luck. Can you shed any light
on the issue?
1. Is there a limit on the number of BCC recipients that can be
included? (Is this where you got the 330 number?) If so, what is it, and
if not, what is a reasonable number to include in a single email (1000,
10000, 100000, etc)
2. Is it possible, using BCC from a mail() function in PHP, to
accidentally reveal the list of recipients to anyone who receives the
email?
Thanks,
Andrew Elliston
