CakeEmail SMTP syntax error 555 (#5.5.4) while sending e-mail to multiple users (with the use of bcc array)

Hello.

I have following problem: I use Smpt method to deliver e-mails from website.

E-mails which are sent to just one recipient (for example: message with registration confirmation, message with new password, etc.) work just fine.

The problem is when it comes to send message to multiple recipients, while sending a newsletter.

When I try to send newsletter to let's say 2 e-mail addresses - it all works fine. But when I try to send it to all users (about 200 of them), there is a following error:

SMTP Error: 555 syntax error (#5.5.4)

Error: An Internal Error Has Occurred.

Stack Trace

#0 /home/users/opg/public_html/lib/Cake/Network/Email/SmtpTransport.php(156): SmtpTransport->_smtpSend('RCPT TO:_sendRcpt()
#2 /home/users/opg/public_html/lib/Cake/Network/Email/CakeEmail.php(967): SmtpTransport->send(Object(CakeEmail))

...

What could be the cause of this? I cannot find any information in the web. Could it be something wrong with the mail server?
I checked e-mail addresses, to which the newsletter was going to be sent - and they all seem correct.

Thank you in advance

Better triple-check those addresses. It's easy to miss something. Were
all of them validated by cake as email addresses when saved to the DB?

Are you including names as well as email addresses? Maybe something's
wrong there.

And check the server's mail log. That should show you where in the
list of addresses the failure is occurring.

Re: CakeEmail SMTP syntax error 555 (#5.5.4) while sending e-mail to multiple users (with the use of bcc array)

It turned out that mail server had limit on number of recipients in one e-mail (I tried to send one mail to 200 e-mail addresses, the limit was 100 recipients).

Much better to send separate messages for each recipient. I'm not sure
if CakeEmail is able to do that (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I
use SwiftMailer to send bulk messages.
