The glide.email.smtp.max_recipients specifies the maximum number
of recipients the instance can list in the To: line for a single email
notification.
Set glide.email.smtp.max_recipients to the recommended value of
100 or less. Notifications that would exceed this limit instead
create duplicate email notifications addressed to a subset of the recipient list. Each email
notification has the same maximum number of recipients.
