I've tried to distribute press releases to media via large e-mail groups that I've set up in PowerMail (400-plus addresses in some cases). It has been an unsuccessful endeavor.
Instead of sending an e-mail/press release to the whole group simultaneously, it seems to look at each address in the group individually and put the e-mail in a queue to each individual before moving on to the next address. This can take quite a while. The stickler is when PowerMail finds a malformed address in the list. It stops the process entirely--without having sent the e-mail to anyone in the group--and generates an error message. I need to go in and fix or delete the malformed address, then try to send the e-mail to the group all over again. I have been successful only one time before giving up--and the one successful send took over 20 minutes to complete! Any suggestions? Do I need to find a good large group e-mail app for the Mac? --Mark
