Hi All

I am using NTL cable broadband (UK)

I sometimes answer all my email first and the press send/receive to
send up to 40 emails in one go. This causes every one of them to be
rejected and bounced back to me.

So I have conducted a few experiments that might fool whatever
restriction there is on send more than one email at a time.

One of the things I have done is to add a random number to the body and
subject of each email just in case it looks for similar emails and and
rejects them.......However this did not work.

So it seems that if I try to send more than 5 emails in one go they
will ALL be bounced back which if you are trying to deal with lots of
customers is a pest.

Any ideas anyone?

You don't say what software you are using - you could set the software to
send emails immediately - so that each one goes as it is composed. Of course
this does mean that you can't have second thoughts if you write that flame
to your boss.

Is it possible that if "one" e-mail is invalid, for whatever reason, they
are all rejected?

A simple solution would be to simply hit 'Send' for each and every
email.

Trying to get around your ISP's SPAM control measures is probably
going to be self-defeating; and may even get you suspended.

Many ISP's check for 'bulk' mail sending to block spam mailers. You would need to contact your ISP to find out if
they are doing this and what they consider 'bulk'. I suspect that's what's happening.

there is a limit on the outbound SMTP server - AFAICT based on qty sent over
time - i used to hit as part of a spam suppression scheme at around 8 to12
emails. Apparently this is part of spam suppression so i doubt NTL will
"fix" it.

i have my mail client set to "send immediately", which gets around the
problem since my typing slows it down.

if all else fails you could set up your own outbound mail server, or use an
alternate service?

Getting harder and harder - most RBL providers now list all ntl's
dynamic IP blocks and your mail will not get through. I've recently
been forced to switch back to using ntl's 'smarthost' (ha) for my mail
as direct sends were getting silently rejected.

Install your own SMTP sever on your own machine. Try Argosoft.

Fine...IF the ISP doesn't block or transparently proxy the port. As
quite a few do.

(Mine doesn't, and I do run my own SMTP server for incoming and outgoing
mail; but not Argosoft, of course).

ntl's fine. I run sendmail at home, no problem (apart from those ISPs
who don't like smtp from dynamic IPs :-( But they're hardly ntl's fault)
