How to send out an E-Mail Opt-in Newsletter

How can I avoid the "Too Many Recipients" Error?

[Baraccus]

I have a relatively small (250 so far) opt-in subscription list to my newsletter. My e-mail provider is limiting the number of e-mails I can send out at one time as an anti-spam mechanism.

I am using Outlook to manage my distribution list, and I just want an e-mail account that will allow me to send one e-mail to my distribution list without all these spam blocking error messages. I set it up this way because I didn't know I would run into this problem - it was fine until I passed 200 people...

What e-mail providers do you use to send out mass mailings like this?

Thank you for your help - this is driving me nuts...

It helps to get some mass emailing software that allows you to send out real emails, without using those bcc methods I'm assuming you use.

Spammers sell software that automatically extracts those hidden email addresses by the way, they join email lists just to get that data since it's so common to send mass emailing like that.

There's a lot of good mass emailers out there, some are free for non-commercial use, outlook isn't meant to do what you're doing.

I do the same thing with a list of about 600 people. To get round this I just break the list up into separate blocks of about 100. It's not really that much trouble.
