Question

Gmail will not send group emails with bcc addresses

by Jul 20, 2015 4:33AM PDT

I am involved with a local residents group and have been sending newsletter emails to our primary gmail address and members' addresses bcc'd (about 120). Gmail has suddenly begun rejecting these emails as they could be spam.
Is there any way of getting around this? It's a breach of members' confidentiality to send emails showing everyone's address.

As spammers spam, that number is dropping.

https://www.google.com/#q=bcc+limit finds prior discussions. Not only does gmail impose limits but many mail servers are lowering the numbers. Since only spammers are affected no one usually complains.
