We have consistently run into a problem when trying to send 1200 + email messages from a database to Outlook. When trying to send the messages from Outlook it keeps telling us to many recipients. We are a small home based business that uses this for marking purposes. What is the answer? Gary

outlook is really not the tool you want, imho. get a 'spammer' tool. there is a great cheap one: Advanced Direct Remailer. write back if you need help setting it up. it is somewhat confusing appearing but quite simple really.

If you have a 1200 customer database that is requesting information on a regular basis there are software packages that will do this.

Outlook is not designed for this.

Ever heard of the MAPS Realtime Blackhole.

Remove any spaces after copy and space.

You might want to go there and do some reading.

You must have a very forgiving ISP to allow you to do this.

My SoapBox - Sorry Gotta Add It:
If on the other hand you are blindly dumping 1200+ emails on addresses that did not request it, that is spaming.

They have passed laws recently concerning spam. The FCC already has a spam hotline. I provide my clients with software solutions that keep spam from even hitting their inbox. A lot of ISP's are using filters that will interrupt and dispose of spam.

I keep two email addresses that I don't give out just to catch the spam to learn how to deal with it. I get over 200 hits a day on each.

Good Luck in your business. But Please NO SPAM
