Karen, My limited knowledge says that there is usually a limit per hour. But in the past I've just run a cursor through the list with a PAUSE FOR xx in the loop depending on how many to send.

Now that I have RMail 9.5 up and running, it's time to think of the next issue I might run into. This client will want to send emails to "groups" of people at a time. The biggest group right now has 380 people in it; could go even higher as they continue to accumulate email addresses. I'm assuming RBase has no problem "pushing" that many emails out the door, but do I have to worry about their email server? Are there questions I can ask their IT guy? If you think that's too many to send at once, the only thing I can think of is to accumulate a bunch of "BCC" addresses. Like maybe a group of 20 BCCs at once? It would take a bit of programming but wouldn't be impossible. Or have a counter and have the program do a LONG pause at some point? Thanks for any suggestions! All I know is that they have some kind of AT&T service. Karen
