Sending Lots of email
 

I have need to send the same email to over 500 members of a Church
Group. I send them as a blind copy but found out that some of the
members do not get them as they are detected as spam and get kicked
out before they get them.

Is there some way to have IE send them one at a time instead of in a
group so they do not get detected as spam?? I know it will take longer
but is still faster than me having to send them one at a time.

Are you leaving the To field blank? This will result in the insertion of
Undisclosed Recipient. Many ISPs will not deliver mail without a legitimate
address in the To field. Instead of leaving it blank, put your own address
there.

If the recipient has a spam program of their own, this should still work. If
it doesn't, they can make adjustments so it will.

Also, ISPs limit the number of recipients you can send to at one time. If
you are not sure of the number your ISP allows, give them a call.

OE, (not IE), can only send them one at a time if you send them one at a
time.

This is a good example of the saying "If you want a job done well, do it
yourself" I NEVER trust any spam identification or even antispyware to a
third party.

Bruce,
Thanks Bruce. No I do send them to myself in the To field. And yes I
meant OE not IE. I read somewhere that there was a third party program
that will take the list from the address book and send them one at a
time but can not seem to find it. My ISP allows me to send 475 at a
time before it kicks back. My problem is that some ISP's on the other
end detect these as spam and do not let them get through to the final
destination.

There may well be a third party program, but I am not aware of it. But
putting your own address in the To field will most likely be the cure.

Tony,

You have my sympathy. I have 1,520+ subscribers to a community e-mail
newsletter. 480 of the subscribers are AOL recipients. Even though my ISP
has granted me the status of "mass mailer" (messages to 1,000 recipients per
hour between 11 p.m. and 2 p.m. EST) those in power at AOL blocks most
messages. They have a limit of some 150 in any 24 hour period. There is no
change. I wonder how Microsoft gets around this with their messages that are
subscribed to by AOL users, they certainly don't follow the same
restrictions.

If you use MS Office Outlook, you could send using a mail merge. One
advantage is that each message is personalized with the recipients name. The
drawback is that there is one message per addressee.

IMHO, anyone that uses AOL deserves what they get. Don't dictate to me how I
have to send, or receive messages. (i.e.) I don't want to *have* to forward
a message as an attachment as AOL insists.

Let them waste shareholders money by sending millions of people their CDs in
the mail. A good percentage of which probably don't even own computers.

Except that MS Outlook Express will abort the message send, and _nobody_
will get a message, if the SMTP server balks at too many messages. I
have checked the mail log of MSOE; it sends an SMTP "QUIT" command in
response to an SMTP server error code.
