up red flags in network worms across the country :-)
To get your legitimate emails through, you need to do one of two things...
1. Contact the ISPs that your mail will be traveling through, so for
instance, AOL, Comcast, etc.. and let them know you have a lot of emails to
send out to people who know they are receiving the email and you need them
to go through. If you are nice and diplomatic about it, they will get your
mail server info and add you to the white list; sometimes it takes some
convincing but it can get done.
2. Stagger the number of emails you send out at once to a particular domain.
I wound up storing the domain portion of the email in addition to the email
so I would select "n" number from one domain and send them, repeating that
process for all the domains until all the emails are delivered.
I'll be honest though, you really need to establish good ties and
communications with the ISP network people in order to successfully deliver
mass amounts of email.... things may go ok for a bit then all of a sudden
some tool reports you as a spammer and your mail server IP addresses are
black listed everywhere :-)
HTH,
