[DUG] TIdSMTP and XTRA Secure Remote Email

[Robert martin]

Hi they told us some of them (we must be too nice).

I think the core rule was you cant send an email to more than 99 (49?) 
email addresses in one go.  However if you want to send an email to 1000 
there is nothing stopping you sending it as 11 separate < 100 address 
emails.

I hope I haven't just destroyed national security :)
