Len,
Please remember that Blat or IMail1 would execute 50K times. OK, this may
be all right; I'm just the paranoif type! There are no really stringent time
constraints for delivery as far as I know, in the sense that all the
messages have to be delivered within less than X hours. But I'll take your
word and assume that a mid-scale server (say a 500 MHz Pentium with 256 MB
RAM?) will handle the job within 1 to 2 hours.
Your expert help is most appreciated, as always.
Guy
