When I try to send an email to list of 3-400 club members, the transmission
is aborted as the
system finds the very first bad address. As a result, the message doesn't
reach _anyone_.

Is there a way around this problem?

I've tried sending myself the message in the "To" block and putting everyone
else in the Bcc block,
but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

TIA

That's a function of your ISP's mail server. Some validate all the
e-mail addresses before accepting the message and reject it if any are
bad. Yours apparently is one of these.

Doesn't matter whether you use the TO, CC, BCC or any combination of
them.

Others accept the message and then will later return any bad e-mail
addresses as undeliverable messages in your Inbox. My ISP does this.

Other than changing ISPs (and there's no guarantee the new ISP won't
change their method at any time without warning), is to use a mail
program that sends a separate message to each recipient. It's tedious
to do that in OE. There are some bulk mailer programs designed for
this. You might try the shareware sites. There are links to shareware
sites in the URL in my signature. Also, Outlook2000+ can do this as
part of an e-mail/merge.

Is it the first "bad" email address? Or is it the 'Nth' email address,
where 'N' is some value as low as 25?
