MASS MAILING

[KJBGROVER]

WE HAVE AN ORGANIZATION THAT WE WANT TO REACH WITH MASS EMAIL MESSAGING.
THIS IS NOT SPAM!!! WE ARE TALKING NEWSLETTERS AND IMPORTANT MESSAGES.
WE HAVE OVER 600 VOLUNTEERS AND WOULD AT LEAST LIKE TO REACH THEM. MAYBE
MORE.
DO WE HAVE TO BREAK THIS LIST UP IN ORDER TO AVOID THE SPAM POLICE ON THE
EMAIL SERVERS, AND OR CAN OUTLOOK HANDLE THIS BIG A LIST?

Firstly please lose the caps lock! It makes things difficult to read and is
the Usenet equivalent of SHOUTING.
Outlook will handle as many addresses as you like - the bottleneck as you
rightly say is your ISP. You need to discuss it with them.

And you probably won't even run into the ISP's limit on the number of
addresses per message if you use mail merge to send an individual message to
each volunteer. You still might run into an hourly limit, though.

With that number of recipients, you really should be looking at a
non-Outlook solution, anything from a Google Groups list to a mass mail
provider like Constant Contact -- anything that can provide good subscribe,
unsubscribe, and bounce umanagement.
