Also, Comcast in my area (Baltimore Metro) has new guidelines regarding the number of folks you send email to in a certain time frame (15 within 60 minutes). This is designed to stamp out spammers, but also affects legitimate list emailers such as yourself. Contact Comcast and see if this is the case in your area. It can be alleviated by putting the majority of the recipients in the CC or BCC box instead of the TO box.

The limits are Comcast-wide. It is a total count of outbound spawn, so tucking addresses into the other fields won't make a diff. Yes, Comcast will play a game to give you an exception for some specific tasks -- but they frequently foo it.


Frankly, I think their limits are too loose. If you're spawning an email to more than 5 people at a time, you should be using a mailing list service. There are thousands available world-wide, most for free.
