Along with what everyone else has said, check the Terms of Service of your Internet feed. Many ISPs forbid mass mailings of any kind, solicited or otherwise, without making special arrangements. I would recommend looking into a third-party SMTP relay service, instead of trying to send a bazillion emails through a 128 kilobit pipe. Much better to send one SMTP envelope with many recipients to a relay with a fat pipe. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
