If you are speaking about your hosting provider, some have an "unpublished" limit of emails one can send out without issue. The number that triggers error messages (or what ever you are experiencing) will be different for each Hoster. I know I personally had issue in the past trying to send out 100 or so emails at once, and had to specifically contact support and get permission to send out email to even that small amount of recipients.

However, if you are using a email service, blasting out 500 or even 5000 or more "send outs" can be considered normal. It just depends on the plan one has subscribed to.

Email service provider given limit for you 500 email limit. Some times service provider given this limit for spam protection.
Given the lack of specifics from the OP, that may or may not be the case here.

Better to first ask for all needed particulars rather than speculate.

There is an database error.. I think the database variable is limited and if you exceed that limit them it shows an error.

That may be true, but since I know I've seen this effect so many times I've lost count, and it has ALWAYS been an ISP limit on email, that seems to be a very safe guess at this point..

The below is a perfect example of why I repeatedly advise others to diagnose before prescribing.

If the OP cannot return with needed information, he deserves not even a "a very safe guess."

Are you using phpmailer to send out emails? If you're able to send out a few emails, it probably indicates that there is a server limit to the number of emails you can send out to prevent spamming. In this case, your option may be to use a cronjob to stagger the sending process. Of course your host must support this but I can provide you with more specific details if required. I actually programmed my own email newsletter system years ago.
