I ask this question because I know that companies like Yahoo or AOL have diverse policies against mass emailling.
I have already set a cronjob to deliver messages on a larger scale of time in order to avoid emails beeing blocked by the email providers.
I know that 10.000 is not a big number but in time this will increase and I will need a better email strategy.
So, what do you suggest me to do?
I hope that in this thread we will compare things like:
-sending emails from the same address VS multiple addresses;
-sending emails from the same IP VS multiple IPs;
-sending emails from the same domain VS multiple subdomains and different IPs VS multiple domains like widget.com, widgetsmtp1.com widgetsmtp2.com;
PS: english is not my primary language so please excuse me.
I'll just add my suggestion, which you may already be implementing.
Don't use images with the e-mails, plain text is best.
I know IT managers that simply block any e-mail with an embedded image. That's not a recent phenomenon, it's been going on for some years.
There are some other things you can do to improve the deliverability of your email.

Many ISPs are now blocking mail that appears to be sent to a fixed number of recipients. some I've heard as low as 50!
Email as a means of mass communication has really been ruined by the spammers.
