How many addresses / characters does it cut off at? > I find no mention of such a limit in the "HELP" files, but I can imagine > it being left out. > There are limits on the length of header fields in the SMTP RFCs - they SHOULD not be longer 78 characters and MUST not be longer than 998 characters. Lines can be folded to accommodate those limits. The RFCs also say that SMTP servers must be able to accept at least 100 recipients in a single RCPT command and they MUST fail in an orderly fashion (i.e. you will be told about it!). My experience of Evolution is that it is SMTP RFC compliant so I doubt it would break it on such an obvious thing and I've never heard of anyone else having problems. But there may also be a limit to the BCC: field in the composer - have you tried putting the addresses in a contact list in Evolution and sending to that instead? There may well be a limitation at the SMTP end as well. Do you have access to the SMTP server? If so, can you look in the logs on it to see if there are any clues. Finally, you can enable SMTP debugging for Evolution - that will give you all the chatter between Evo and the SMTP server, that may give some indication as to where the problem lies.
