Agreed, small chunks. perhaps 500 at a time. Also it's best to relay them through a real/trusted/known-good mailserver. It's also important that the email not appear spammy, or that the recipients are expecting email like that. Even if only a few recipients click "Report Spam" could have dire consequences. --lonnie _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
