How to email blast when ISP limits outbound number of messages?
Diane,
How can one send to 500 people if one's ISP limits messages to about 50 recipients per message? I just had someone tell me that he has to break down his email blast to his clients into groups of 25-30 or they will not send. He has almost 500 people to whom he sends a monthly update. No, he is not a spammer. These people are his legitimate clients. Gregg Hill |

Either break it into groups that are within the ISPs limits, get a
different ISP that doesn't limit you, or use a 3rd party service that will send out your e-mail blasts for you. -- -Ben- Ben M.

Another option is to set up a group on Yahoo or Google and enter the client's
addresses there. Yahoo limits you to signing up 100 addresses per day, so it would take 5 days to load up all that you need. -- TedMi "Ben M.

With a list that large, I'd look into using real list software. I'd avoid
yahoogroups for business, but there are apps you can run on your network (and with your domain) that will send them 1 at a time... you may or may not hit limits with the ISP though - some have min and/or hourly limits too. You can use mail merge so only 1 name per message or a utility that slows sending so you don't hit limits. See http://www.slipstick.com/addins/massmail.asp for a list of utilities. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

I agree with Diane. Using a Yahoo or Google group isn't going to look
professional. Plus, given that you can expect a 10% bounce rate for any mass mailing, does he really want to be going by hand through 50 or so non-delivery reports every time to see who needs to be deleted from the list or get an address update? Any purpose-built mass mailing application, whether hosted or local, should be able to process those NDRs and make that task easier. Some ISPs also offer Mailman or other list software as part of their package; it doesn't hurt to ask. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming: Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote: With a list that large, I'd look into using real list software.

DoS and spam overload
Due to the constant DoS attacks on mail servers in the United States these days, ISP's are forced to limit the number of recipients per email. We used to limit the recipients to 100, then 50, and finally, today, it's down to 25.
If you must send out more emails,then break your lists down to whatever your ISP limits and send 10 to 20 emails with 25 recipients each. More than that, seek a professional email service.

DoS and spam overload
A mail merge and a utility the limits the number of messages per minute will
get past most isp limitations - unless they have a daily limit. But it really is better to use a commercial service for large blasts. They'll send a lot faster than outlook ever can. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: New Poll: What type of email account is your main account? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=42402 "M.S.
