I'm trying to "reply all" to about 40 different addresses but the system keeps sending me an error message

The error message:"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: tarpitting g_bomb_max_from ([email protected]) 22/20. 

Please check the message recipient "[email protected]" and try again."

If I try to reply once again, the message is the same but with a different email address.

Your server is telling you that the email has to many recipients. (22/20). I read that as 22 recipients on a limit of 20. Nothing Thunderbird can do about the server refusing the mail for having to many recipients.

Thanks, Matt. I don't know how to read the computer lingo but it makes sense. I will bring it up with the server.

Thanks, again, Larry
