I work at a small business and I need to send an email to a list of several
hundred custoers on a regular basis. However, my ISP limits the number of
emails sent out to 20 per every five minutes. Is there a way to configure
Outlook 2003 to send them in bursts or anything? I plan on using the mail
merge through Word 2003, if that makes a difference.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated!

Mail Merge will send individual messages, but may exceet the 20 per five
minute period. I would contact the ISP and you could possibly convert to a
"business" account, probably at a higher monthly cost. With my business
account I am only limited to the number of addressees in any one message.
Specifically 300 during normal hours and 1,000 between 11:00 p.m. and 4:00
a.m. I use the oft maligned distribution lists with up to the 300
addressees. I have 1,500 +- addressees.

I haven't figured a way to have Outlook send in burst, but you may wait for
someone else to provide an answer.

repeating my answer from another forum - mapilab's toolbox does support
batching (as they call it)

Please try our email scheduler (http://www.lbetoolbox.com/scheduleemail.htm)
which will allow you to send multiple individual emails, html or plain text,
with attachments, either as a one-off or regularly at a specified time and
interval. You can set it to pause between each email for a specified time.

My ISP also limits my email in a similar fashion but offers a maillist
feature. The feature is similar to a distribution list but on the web and
more flexible.
