No limit? Who exactly told you that? That doesn't even make sense to me -- all ISPs limit their SMTP servers in some way. It's their front-line method of restricting outgoing spam (intentional or zombie). AFAIK, Comcast *does* limit SMTP operations. The last time I checked (about a year ago), the limits were: 3 smtp server connections per minute. 20 messages sent max per smtp server connection. 100 total recipients per email - including to:, cc:, bcc: Send stops after 20 bad addresses. Since then, the spamming problem has gotten worse, so if anything, I would expect they've tightened that up more... If you're going to be sending mass mailings like that out often, it might be better to create a private Yahoo or Google Group, or ...
