Once you create the address book list, the hard work just begins if you are trying to send to a large number of recipients. If your address book from Excel exceeds 100-150 and you want to send an email to everyone on the list, the chances are that your ISP will reject your send list as too long. For example, if you have a large number, say 1000, you will have to break it up into about 10 sends. For anything over 100 of the 5000 high school alumni that I try to reach with email, I upload my Excel list to a bulk email mailer like MailChimp, SendBlaster, etc. and use their free service to send the email and their reporting system to tell me how many opened the email (best I can do is 60%) _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
