That's a lot of BCC's. A lot of the new SPAM filters will also trigger with this many BCC recipients. I would check with the server admin of your ISP or the person in charge of your network and make sure they don't enforce any limits on BCC recipients. Also if you're starting to get to this limit, it might be time to start thinking about some sort of listserver instead of BCC'ing folks.
