Look at the following segment in Defaults.py:
# Ceiling on the number of recipients that can be specified in a single
# SMTP
# transaction.  Set to 0 to submit the entire recipient list in one
# transaction.  Only used with the SMTPDirect DELIVERY_MODULE.
SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 500

Incidentally, please restrict your replies to only the relevant pieces
of the e-mail and do not reply to a digest changing only the subject
line.  For a new question, please start a new thread so you don't mess
up the threading model for those of us with real mail clients.  Thanks!
