are you sending them all at once? I would assume you are and thats why you are getting blacklisted. You can only send a few at a time or you will get the whip!
I have a client that sends out 30,000 at a time and we shoot them out every few seconds in batches of 25 and i havent been blacklisted yet. You should do that and set up a failto email address and then you can grab and scrub the list. The problem with that is that cfpop is so slow that it takes forever so what we do now is a week after the email blast I check the email with http://www.maxprog.com/ and it checks the mail and spits out a list which I then upload and parse with cfm and remove all the bad emails. Now that I went on that site I see they have something else now, i might buy it and try it http://www.maxprog.com/EmailVerifier.html eMail Verifier works on the same algorithm as ISP mail systems do. Addresses for email are extracted from a Domain Naming Server (DNS) and eMail Verifier tries to connect with SMTP-servers and simulates the sending of a message. It does not send the message though - eMail Verifier disconnects as soon as the mail server informs the program whether the address exists or not. >Okay, I'm looking at an interesting situation when it comes to sending >out mass emails.
