At the risk of sounding stoopid (well, more stoopid) - this means that BCC'ing would
solve his problem, yes? Hotmail wouldn't reject the messages because they'd be
individually delivered. That's what I originally thought but my brain is working at
around 40% capacity after this weekend and I didn't find anything solid when I did a
quick search.
If this is true, then Hotmail's "anti-spam" measures would serve nothing except to
increase server traffic for these messages by 80 times (if there were 80 hotmail
recipients).
