Sending many emails restriction

Our company has been gradually building up an emailing list (like everyone else on the planet) but I'v e just found out that our broadband provider - orange - only allow 20 addressses to be emailed at a time. They quote security reasons. We have thousands on our list so every time we email our customers we have to perform a cut and paste operation from our list and repeat the email hundreds of times. I'd just like to know why. I'm sure Martin doesn't have this problem with his email newsletter. I asked Orange if they'd lift this restriction and they said no.

Can anyone recommend a BB provider who will allow me to email many people with one mailing.

    SPAM!

    Most responsible broadband providers will do this. Can I ask are you trying to use SMTP (outlook, etc) or webmail?

    some BB providers will limit the number of recipients on their webmail, but not on their client access, other providers may throttle on throughput, e.g. 1 message per second. This usually increases, e.g. first 20 @ ASAP, then next 20 at 1 message per second, then the next 100 @ 1 message per 30 seconds, etc.
  • Hey ADC,

    It looks like that you maybe should look at a Business Broadband Provider. It sounds like you're currently on a residential service (meant for home use).

    Good luck!

    Kind regards,

    How come you're sending via outlook? for mailing list stuff its much easier & quicker to get mailing list software hooked up on your companys web hosting & run it from there?
