Your ISP isn't going to do anything; you're the city of San Antonio. But a sub-domain with its own originating IP does help in case that gets blacklisted by $random moron. You could get blacklisted no matter how careful you are just because there are idiots out there who will use any random blacklist that just happens to exist... and some of them are managed by.. well, as part of my kinder/gentler persona I'll stop there.
The monthly San Antonio Parks & Rec newsletter is highly unlikely to be seen as spam IMO. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Martinez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 9:12 AM Posted To: swynk Conversation: Mass Mailings Subject: RE: Mass Mailings I'am more concerned about being blacklisted also as Martin stated mass mail through my ISP (SBC). Should I consider setting up an additional domain/server to accomplish this in order to avoid being blacklisted or are there any other ways to get around this? -----Original Message----- From: Chris Scharff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 8:23 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Mass Mailings [1]I've sent such things though Exchange before... no problems in terms of volume, but you may consider a majordomo or mailman (or similar) box and a sub-domain of @lists.sanantonio.gov to manage such mailings. [1] Hi Chris! -----Original Message----- From: Chris Martinez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Posted At: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 7:46 AM Posted To: swynk Conversation: Mass Mailings Subject: Mass Mailings Hello All- We currently have a division that is requesting to be able to send mass mails through our server to opt-in recipients of a monthly newsletter, this would be upwards of 70,000 pieces per month and will increase as required. My question is has anyone received similar requests and how were they handled? The division head assures me that this list will be maintained and kept up to date and users who request to be removed from the list will be, they currently outsource this project and want to bring it in-house to save money. I believe in the long run this will cause more problems than the savings will add up to, any suggestions would be appreciated.
