Stephen, I think what he was saying is that if you just go

<cfmail from="me" to="me" bcc="#ValueList(query.email)#">
text
</cfmail>

then the large amount of BCC values will set off anti-spam triggers.

I may not have this exactly right, but you should be able to use
cfmailparam to set the Mailer to hide the fact that the email was sent
by ColdFusion.

<cfmailparam name="X-Mailer" value="Official Westminster County Council
Mailing">

> Also, you lose the personalised "Dear john" aspect.

Well you can still use the contents of the query in the email.

<cfloop query="EmailQRY">
    <cfmail to="""EmailQRY.FirstName# #EmailQRY.LastName#""
<#EmailQRYEmailAddresses#>"
              from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
            subject="#FORM.Subject#">
Dear #EmailQRY.FirstName# #EmailQRY.LastName#

#FORM.message#

Regards

#FORM.Sender#
Common Disclaimer and Unsubscribe text
    </cfmail>
</cfloop>

Small note : The text of the email needs start in column 1 of your
template, not indented with your code, otherwise the email text winds up
indented too.

Stephen
