Sorry - I think I spoke too soon (it's a very lethargic and overcast Monday here in
SD). If more than 25 recipients were Hotmail addresses, BCC'ing wouldn't fix your
problem since all the Hotmail addresses would still be sent using a single
transmission.
I'm not that familiar with GFI yet - but I'm getting ready to prototype and implement
a Ex2k / GFI system for a smaller client. Have you considered trying to use GFI's
content scanning mechanism to identify and re-address messages with large recipient
lists? Does anyone know if there's a hook like this available out of the box? Just a
thought.
