What about using something like Sendgrid (http://sendgrid.com)? Or Postmark (http://postmarkapp.com/)? Let somebody else worry about throttling and blacklists and all of the headaches of smtp servers. Matt On May 26, 10:50 pm, Jason Brower encomp...@gmail.com wrote: Yes, I practically have that now.

One way I am taking this further is, as long as the conference is alive I can compair this list with who has signed into the conference to get an idea of how many people have reacted to the email and are now attending the conference.
