GMail: Daily Sending Quota Exceeded

WTF?

I just tried to email out a couple of hundred copies of the survey results which were attached as 200kb spreadsheets. My email was rejected by Gmail, with the following error against it: “550 5.4.5 Daily sending quota exceeded”

What the hell is that? Just googled it and I also searched Gmail’s support centre, I can’t find ANYTHING about it. Anyone know what’s going on?

They've cracked onto you and your mass-spam attacks! mwhuhhahahaa

I'm thinking it's an anti-spam measure - google assumes that only baddies want to send lots of email all at once. Or - and this is largely the same thing - they have a non-commercial use provision in the EULA. Has anyone bothered reading the agreement closely?

Does sound like an anti-spam measure to me.

It's part of their anti-spam and anti-using-gmail-like-a-hard-drive effort. I found an interesting page at

I have the "550 5.4.5 Daily sending quota exceeded" problem too. Did you send via Microsoft Outlook? I did. I decided not to send however. If i find any solution I'll post again.

However for me, sending via yahoo is the same.. I use microsoft outlook btw.. It doesn't give me the same error but the email is not sent anyway..

Has anyone found a way around the 550 5.4.5 Daily sending quota exceeded problem?

I starting having this isue last night with one of my Gmail accounts. I have filled out their online help form and sent several emails, but not reply. They are avoiding this issue. If someone in tech support does not respond after an hour of placing a trouble ticket, then they are avoiding you. That is my personal experiance, and I too work in customer support.

Man, there is a daily limit of number of send email messages. It is limited to few hundred, one or two i think. Send no more than 100 a daily, it is so easy.

[Stasevich]

Have the same issue, i'd say the limit is way smaller than few hundered, as i file after 1st try to send 20 emails in BCC fiel, and 1 in TO field.

[Stasevich]

just tried it again
this time having just 8 emails in the BCC, having 1 to and 1 CC address.
it worked.
Before i errored out on the 1st try of 1st 20,
looks to me, like thre's some sort of limit on the number of BCC addresses that you should have, or the fact, that i included CC togherher with BCC address.

Hey!
I can email to more than 50 people in bcc field all at once... I think it's antispam measure, and it depends on how long you are using gmail... Im using it more than a year now...

Interestingly, this issue also exists for the users of Google Hosted as I've found out recently. We've since switched away from Google Hosted back to Exchange Server.

I'm getting the same message but I only have eight emails in the "To" line (a small personal distribution list).

[Anand]

I got this message after sending 500 mails. But I tried to send 1000 mails.
This I tried for two consecutive days.

Hello,
I just sent 2500 emails using Gmail and right after 2501 I got the messsage. However I started at 11:55 so many of the emails were count towards yesterday's limit.
