[PHP] More info on BCC? (was Re: [PHP] Sending Broadcast Email - will a large loop cause a crash?)

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
