Thanks so much to all and to Mike and William, I will be putting your advice
on the top of my list of things to do. The list in question has
approximately 5,500 names but, by the time it is cleaned up, will probably
be closer to 5,000.
The idea of not disturbing subscribers unnecessarily is
Dave,
you can validate your email addresses automatically simply by using the
Likes of Mailchip, which will validate allthe email addresses when you
submit them and remove the bogus ones, it will also automatically remove

The CFTRY and CFCATCH method described earlier is a great method for a
partial scrub. That method will scrub those email addresses which are
malformed or have invalid syntax. That's a great start, but there are two
additional things you should do as well:
1. Use the FAILTO feature of

Honestly, I too highly recommend a service like Mail Chimp or Constant
Contact, or Emma. They clearly have their place and the headache of getting
blacklisted is miserable, but sometimes you have a situation where the

You can also utilize a tool like BoogieBounce by Boogie Tools (
http://www.boogietools.com/). I've used this in the past and it works
great. It allows you to determine the cause of a rejected email (hard
bounce, soft bounce, server unreachable, etc.) and then programmatically
deal with it as
I agree that using a third part service is highly desirable, but depending
on the integration and the client it may not be feasible. I clearly have
clients that would never allow their mail list or the mail content to be
placed on any third-party server for compliance and/or security reasons...
Have any of you tried Amazon SES for email? I paid to clean my list and then
started using them.
I can send out 20,000 emails for $2. Its so much cheaper. I do use a software
program called Sendy
in conjunction with Amazon which cost $50 (one time).
Just thought Id mention it, but its

Hi guys,
I have a rule of thumb. NEVER DELETE ANY DATA. Be it an obsolete email, a
diseased customer, etc. I just flag the as NOT TO BE USED. This is because over
time, someone may decide to activate that data and become your next biggest
buyer.
Also, with respect to newsletters, I have over

uses paypal integration services and found that it stopped
working. Payments were getting processed but the results

Thanks to this thread I found the problem and fixed it..
So then is the symantec certificate newer? Should I also add

Good luck, Michael

Hi Folks
Robert details all the steps to keeping an email list clean and valid.
Having done that in the past and for a list of 5000 addresses I would say it is
a
far better deal to go with one of the email newsletter companies. Having tried
several I can highly recommend mailchimp
+1 for Mail Chimp. I was preparing to post about this but Robert did
a better job of explaining than I could. I never use anything but
Mail Chimp for bulk mail sends.

an easy way to validate a mail list, but the steps I detailed are a valid
