I guess you are putting 500 emails in the Bcc field. I guess. I like to personalize outgoing mail. I has a script sending *lots* of email and I didn't think it through. My cohort had to clean up after me and he said that he just changed a parameter to sendmail to queue the mail, I *think* ... I haven't sent a lot of mail since then but I'll look at how I was using sendmail.

I can't think of a reason that would trump the personalization that I like so much. But I'm all ears. Peter
