It's not really an important part of the answer, but the above paragraph should have said: The 828 recipients was the entire list, but the list is chunked into pieces of *at most* SMTP_MAX_RCPTS (default 500) and each chunk is sent as a separate SMTP transaction. Further, the chunks are separated by top level domain such that all .com addresses are in their (set of) chunk(s); all .net and .org addresses are in a separate set; all .edu, .us and .ca addresses are in a third set, and the rest are in yet another set. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
