Hi Richard,
What are you trying to, debug? I thought the problem was obvious?
Also, if someone was sending to that many recipients, it may be worth while to
use some sort of mailing list software. Would be able to track bounces and
such a bit better. It's a bit of a concern for you as it may harm your IP
reputation for delivery.
