Milly,
My ISP said the number of names on any one email DL is 99 and 999 for one
day. I do not have 99 names and I keep getting an OUTLOOK error message not
an ISP error message. There must be a number of names limit in OUTLOOK! I
have a print screen of the error message and it says: An unexpected error has
occurred
