Avoid looking like a spammer on Gmail

Gmail sending limits to prevent spam
Gmail users should take note that Google will disable accounts (for about 24 hours) if you send an e-mail to more than 500 recipients via the web interface, or 100 recipients via POP/IMAP. Also, if you send e-mail to too many undeliverable addresses, prepare to face the Google hammer.

Gmail takes these measures in an attempt to keep spammers off of their system. Sending bulk e-mail or sending to many addresses that don't accept your e-mail are telltale signs of spamming activity.

If you run a server, you could utilize a listserver (so you can send an e-mail to one e-mail address to make Gmail happy, and then the listserver would send the message to all the members of that listserver).
