email to whole address book

[Kenny]

Hello,

Occasionally I send out an email to everyone in my address book, for
example, being christmas I'd like to send a seasons greetings card to
everyone. In the past I've been able to do it using the bcc in outlook
express so that each recipient doesn't see the entire list of recipients.

However, this time I've been running into endless problems. Everytime I send
it fails for one reason or another. Some recipients servers are now rejecting
the email citing "too many recipients" as a reason. I'm also getting an error
as follows:

An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'Seasons Greetings From Kenny!',
Account: '(e-mail address removed)', Server: 'iwfiorga.startlogic.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 Blacklisted file extension detected',
Port: 587, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC69

I've been trying to send the damn thing for the last 2 hours. I've tried
deleting addresses that reject the email. I've tried sending to just a
portion of my address book at a time, perhaps a third or a quarter at once.
Nothings working. And if one email address is rejected it seems the entire
email fails, and none get sent (at least I hope that's the case, or some
people are going to receive it a dozen times! Although I don't think that's
the case cuz my name was in the list and I didn't receive any)

Well, I'm at my wits end and any help out there is welcome. If ya'll can't
help me, no one gets a card this year from me...

Mail Merge....

This is a newsgroup for Outlook, not Outlook Express. However, your
questions are generic enough that some of them may apply to Outlook as well.

However, this time I've been running into endless problems. Everytime I

error
as follows:

That's a message from your ISP. They won't let you send to that many people
at one time. Reduce the number of people in your recipient list or, as
Gordon says, use Mail Merge. However, you'll need to use Outlook for that,
not Outlook Express.

An unknown error has occurred. Subject 'Seasons Greetings From Kenny!',
Account: '(e-mail address removed)', Server: 'iwfiorga.startlogic.com',
Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 Blacklisted file extension
detected',

Never post your real address, if that's what this is, in a newsgroup.
You're sending an attached file that the server 'iwfiorga.startlogic.com'
has decided it will no longer accept. Whichever of your recpients using
that mail server may be able to control that but you can't.

And if one email address is rejected it seems the entire
email fails, and none get sent (at least I hope that's the case, or some
people are going to receive it a dozen times! Although I don't think
that's
the case cuz my name was in the list and I didn't receive any)

It's the case for some errors (like the "too many recipients" error) but not
for the blacklisting error.
