You have my sympathy. I have 1,520+ subscribers to a community e-mail
newsletter. 480 of the subscribers are AOL recipients. Even though my ISP
has granted me the status of "mass mailer" (messages to 1,000 recipients
per hour between 11 p.m. and 2 p.m. EST) those in power at AOL blocks most
messages. They have a limit of some 150 in any 24 hour period. There is no
change. I wonder how Microsoft gets around this with their messages that
are subscribed to by AOL users, they certainly don't follow the same
restrictions.

If you use MS Office Outlook, you could send using a mail merge. One
advantage is that each message is personalized with the recipients name.
The drawback is that there is one message per addressee.



IMHO, anyone that uses AOL deserves what they get. Don't dictate to me how I
have to send, or receive messages. (i.e.) I don't want to *have* to forward
a message as an attachment as AOL insists.

Let them waste shareholders money by sending millions of people their CDs in
the mail. A good percentage of which probably don't even own computers.
