I had a similar situation recently, except with 15k emails instead. I sent them in three sets of about 5k email addresses, and didn't get blacklisted. Before sending the emails, we did due diligence, made sure everything was set up properly on the servers to minimize the chance of email getting rejected, etc. We still had a decent chunk of them go straight to spam filters, but our server/IP wasn't blacklisted. YMMV, but 5k at a time didn't seem to hurt us that much. -- justin http://justinhileman.com _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
