That would generate more load for the server rather than less. It means every address @hotmail.com gets sent yet again, rather than in a single transaction. My recommendation would be to send as many as the upstream server will allow. 50 would be a good start. And sort them by domain so that the @hotmail.com @yahoo.com and @gmail.com addresses get grouped into one transaction. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few. - George Bernard Shaw -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
