Dunno if this would work. Just a thought. Put all 1500 addresses in the
BCC field of one message (will BCC handle that?). Give the work to AOL's
server.

Ok Cameron. Here's the deal.
I run the web site for ColoradoRunner.com. On that web site, you will
notice that we collect e-mail addresses from those that opt to give it to
us, in the form of an e-mail collection box on the home page, as well as the
contest for the free shoe give away each and every week.
Anyways, we currently have about 7,000 opt-in e-mail addresses in our
database, which we send out bi-weekly (or so) e-mails to, through a custom
CF app I've written. Well, each time we send out a mailing, ALL 1,500
aol.com e-mails get returned to us. I believe it's because the aol.com mail
servers think that we are spamming them (which we are not). So, my thinking
is that if we stagger the outgoing mail, the aol.com mail servers may let
the mail through. Everyone else using other ISP's gets the mailing fine.
Make sense? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Dennis
