We cannot help you directly. Hotmail and Yahoo think you are a spammer. You have to negotiate with them directly and convince them that you aren't and that their customers want your mail and get them to whitelist your server. >I read somewhere that the biggest list that's using mailman is 500,000 in >size.. is it really true or only 50,000 messages are going thru n the rest >is delayed or even bounced back.. It is probably true, but it is also probably true that there aren't hundreds of thousands of Hotmail addresses on that list. >I don't know what to do ...

I'm so >desperate and disappointed.. How are they supposed to know your list is double opt-in if you don't talk to them? See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/4oA9>. You are going to have to contact them and convince them to whitelist you if you can. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
