How many emails can be sent by Outlook 2003 at one time?
Hi,
I'm going to send bulk email to the people who are in my outlook Contact List, may I select all the contacts(over 1000)at one time to send them an mail merge message? I'm worried about How many emails can be sent by Outlook 2003 at one time? Cheers, Jim |

A lot depends on the limits set by your mail server. Many won't allow large
mail blasts as a way to stop/limit spamming. You may need to check with your internal staff or ISP tech support. "CEO" wrote in message ...

I'm worried about How many emails can be sent by Outlook 2003 at one time? Call your ISP or whomever is your e-mail provider to find out. They are the ones that set the quotas on your account. Outlook doesn't have a limit (well, there might be some max buffer size but it might be 64K characters). You can use Word's MailMerge to send out the form letter to each recipient. Word will make up a list and send the doc through Outlook one at a time. This sounds great until you find out that your e-mail provider limits how many connections per minute you can have (i.e., another anti-spam quota for max sessions per minute). You might find that you can only have a max of 10 mail sessions per minute, and since Word is sending them out one at a time then you will only get out 10 at a time and Outlook will fail on the remaining messages with a mail session error. www.slipstik.com has some suggestions on how to handle bulk mails. After all, you are using a *personal* e-mail account to send *bulk* mails. I remember one called Mailcast mostly because a user complained about it so I glanced at it and it looks okay but maybe not for you volume of spewage. You might have to find a listserver service. You send them one copy of the e-mail that you want delivered and you send them a list of recipients and they handle sending a copy of your e-mail to each recipient on the list. (Oops, just looked and it appears MailCast is a dead product; see http://www.deerfield.com/products/visnetic_mailcast/). It may not help for you to run your own listserver since you'll hit your ISP's anti-spam quotas or they may not permit you to send SMTP traffic to an off-domain mail server. Or you could get a business account with your ISP that has higher anti-spam quotas (i.e., pay more to spew more). -- __________________________________________________ E-mail: Remove "NIX" and add "#LAH" to Subject. __________________________________________________ |
