I've got another mailing next week!Perhaps I'm missing something here but why do you need to write individual messages for each subscriber? Are the messages different (which they may be if they contain user specific information)? If not, just write the message once and put the recipients in the BCC field using sendmail. You'll need to limit it to a couple of hundred or so (I used 150) names per message per the suggestion above but at least you'll only need to write one message for ever 150 recipients.Miguel A.
