You need to use something like http://www.icontact.com/ mate

Ian setting up your own SMTP could work but if he hosts it on a home internet connection these are normally blocked by rule by most anti spam lists. They do a whois on the ip block and its normally marked as a home internet connection.

Depends on the outgoing mail server.

I've no real experience of it but you may be better setting up your own SMTP server on a network which will allow traffic to go out on that port. Then you're not bound by any anti-spam measures but you'll still get the data out there.

I put a thread up a few months back about sending 12k+ emails, It's now over 25,000 I need to send. Need to have them all out by the beginning of May.

I know if you send a certain amount a minute, a percentage of the emails just get bounced back. My question is does anybody know the limit you can send per minute?

Thanks for any help, had a look on webmaster forums, and not been very successful.
