A boatload of AOL and MSN >users came back on him. overloaded bcc: fields are technically unreliable at best (many MTA's truncate headers at 1024 chars or whatever, and are signals to weighting programs and heuristics that the mail is highly suspect. Do him an imail list, or have him cut up his 1000 into MUCH smaller pieces for bcc:. Leave it to him as an exercise to figure out how small the MUCH smaller is.
