sometimes it�s ok, sometimes it chokes.
>I'm reletively new to all this so forgive me if I sound stupid!
it�s alright
>Does it simply queue the emails and send them out 1 at a time? And if so,

with a real list server and a good DNS, an hour or two. With Imail�s list
server, ya never know til you try. some here have reported hours and hours
and hours to send smaller lists.

no, the msg goes from Imail directly to the destination MX host.
