Sending Bulk Email Messages

When you send bulk messages (50 or more recipients), to internal or external (or mixed) recipients, we strongly recommend that you create a Google Group mailing list to send the message instead of adding the individual recipients to the TO, CC, or BCC field in Gmail. By using a Google Group mailing list, you can respect your recipient's inbox and reduce the chances that:

• Gmail blocks your messages.
• Gmail marks your messages as spam.
• Gmail temporarily locks your account from sending additional messages.
• Gmail suspends your account for spam-like activities.

There are also advantages to using a Google group for bulk messages, including: 

• Each message sent to the Google Group, regardless of how many members are in the group, count as a single message.
• You can add and remove members as your recipient list changes.
• You can add an unlimited number of recipients.
• Each Google Group you create has its own unique email address (e.g., oitnews-group@unlv.edu). When you want to send a message to all the members of that group, you just need to send the message to the group's address.
• You can add additional managers and owners to help you manage and post to the group.
