I was actually hoping to use Microsoft's SMTP server to send out the email since it looks like we can throttle the emails with it. Does anyone know how to do that?

I'm willing to bet no one made an effort to make sure those addresses are still valid so do everything you can to cover yourself. At the very least make sure you have an abuse address configured and make sure both you and the sender of the list get copies of those requests. Make sure you have a powerful server and/or SMTP gateway. I know when we load tested IMail on a Duel 2.5 with 2GIG of RAM, we threw 20k messages at it in one big bulk and it brought the server to it's knees because IMail does not use the ram, it uses the paging file ...... why I have no idea, I've even called IPSwitch support and complained about it but they said it was developed that way. Good luck with it, I know me personally I'd just tell them no until they could give me some type of record indicating the addresses were valid. -----Original Message----- From: Matrosity Tech Support [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 3:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] 150K mailing list Was this not an appropriate question to as in this forum or something?? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matrosity Tech Support Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 7:38 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] 150K mailing list We're about to have a client that has a mailing list with 150K users on it. I've checked their database and these appear to all be previous customers of theirs. The concern I have is will we run the risk of getting blacklisted sending out their newsletter and how could we avoid that?
