How many recipient are allowed in an email???

I am sending emails through Apex. In Unlimited edition can I do the following -

 

Send 1000 emails in a day - in each mail I will send email to 250 people. So essentially the total number of people to whom I can send email is 250,000. Is that correct?

 

Thanks in advance :)

No you can not send more than 1000 in a Day.

If you will send 100 in one time then you can only send  it 10 times. 

 

1000 is the limit for the day means you can send 1000 mails may be 

 

100 x 10

 

or

 

1000 separate.

 

Its the aggregate total for the day which we count agaist the 1000  limit for the day.

No Shashikant

What I mean is that If I want to send

1 Email to 100 toAddresses Email that means

the same email can be sends to 100(emailid)  x 1000(unlimited limit) = 100000 people per day

Ok I got your question now

 

You can not sent more than 1000 emails to external email addresses in a day.

So if you are going to add 100 address in a single Email then you can only send 10 such.

  • Mass email messages sent with the sendEmail method count against the sending organization's daily mass email limit. When this limit is reached, calls to the sendEmail method using MassEmailMessage are rejected, and the user receives a MASS_MAIL_LIMIT_EXCEEDED error code

One more thing I want to know is there any other alternative option through which I can send emails to more than

1000 users in a day.

What approach shall I move... Please assist me ASAP ???

There is no alternative approach by which you can send more than 1000 emails per day. Only thing is that you can talk to salesforce admins and ask them to increase your daily email limit.
