sending multiple emails

B

Ben

I've designed an email newsletter using Publisher 2003 and I've also used the
"email" feature on the toolbar to send it to a recipient. Is there a way that
I can send it to multiple addresses without each recipient seeing the mailing
list. I know there are services that handle such things but I'd like to do it
directly from Publisher.
Thank you

Bcc
Bcc is shorthand for Blind carbon copy. If you add a recipient's name to this box in
a mail message, a copy of the message is sent to that recipient, and the recipient's
name is not visible to other recipients of the message. If the Bcc box isn't visible
when you create a new message, you can add it.

Thanks for your response but I'd like to ask a related question.
When using the BCC feature will the recipient's email server translate my
newsletter as spam because it contains so many other recipients, or are the
multiple recipients also invisible to whatever email servers use to detect
spammers.
If the answer is that the spam filters are likely to block my newsletter is
there a way of sending individual emails to a group of 50 people or so
directly from Pub2003 using either Outlook Express, Outlook or anything else
you that you may suggest.
Thank you

My son sends out a newsletter to 200+ through Word, I don't know the details; as far
as we know they go okay. This is probably a question best asked in an Outlook group.

I'd like to know how he does it. When I try to send an announcement out to a
group that I'm in that has over 120 members, I get a message from "System
Administrator" that says Your message did not reach some or all of the
intended recipients.

452 4.5.3 Too many recipients

My ISP is RoadRunner. I called them and asked if they had limits on the
number of recipients that I could send an email to, and they said the only
limit was 1000 emails per day. They suggested that the limit of 50 was
Microsoft Outlook. Was I given the wrong answer? What is the code 452 4.5.3
above? Is that a Outlook code or a RoadRunner code?

Yes.
I don't know what the top limit in Microsoft Outlook is, but it's sure
higher than fifty.
If the limitation were in Outlook, the message would not send at all. This
is a bounce message from the server, indicating that the message got out
into the internet fine, but was returned to you.

This is an SMTP error code.
Without seeing the full email, I cannot see whether it is from RoadRunner,
or from the mail server of one or more of your addressees. I would bet that
in this case it is Bill Camp's ISP who is blocking emails sent to more than
a certain number of recipients.

One of the Windows/Office updates addressed this issue. Do you have all the updates?
