Actually, the salesperson screwed up, it's about 10 lists of people each list around 8000 with +100/mo. The function is not really a list, but a blast to a specific list of "subscribers."
Also, the enduser has Exchange in house...
I'm now looking at "blast" software - any recs? Not from Exchange from staight Win2K box...
Thanks,
Carlos M. Perez

your client defines the worth to him and his list members, you have to
decide whether that is worth your hassle, and whether it will be chargeable.

that's a lot a list mail for Imail, you MUST use Declude Queue to have any
chance of keeping the list traffic moving. even then, you will certainly
be better off with real list server that can do automatic bounce processing.

theoretically.
a process will typically take 10 secs to deliver a msg. 6 msgs/minute per
process, 6000 msg/min for 1000 process, gives 36,000 hour. good luck
