AppleFax Modem: Distribution List Capacity (9/93)


I want to send a single Fax through the AppleFax Modem to 300
different locations. What is the maximum number of addresses that the
AppleFax software can send to in one batch?

The mechanism within the AppleFax application to send an envelope
containing a document or documents to multiple addresses is called a
Distribution List. The Distribution List has a theoretical limit of
an integer, or approximately 32K names; however, you will run out of
memory (and patience) long before that.

We have successfully sent over 100 addresses in a single Distribution
List. We don't have any experience with larger quantities or the
testing resources to check this, but we don't know of any reason why
it wouldn't work with the proper amount of memory.

You might create many smaller Distribution Lists, or try one list and
monitor memory consumption and add memory as appropriate.
