I send bulk e-mail messages to members of my organization:



1. E-mail program: Microsoft Outlook.



2. There are ± 350 members

I assume you have a bulk mail permit from your ISP? Normally, you would have
to have a commerial/business account and a fixed IP address.

3. I send the same message to all members, but I send five bulk e-mail
messages to ± 70 members.

I assume that this is to get under the ISP's daytime limit.

4. I get bounces for incorrect e-mail addresses. E-mail addresses are
not like postal addresses in that they do not have to be in the recipients
names. But I recognize ± 85% of them.

Those that you don't will have the e-mail address of the recipient. Copy and
paste into the contact search.

5. I call or otherwise contact the members I recognize - notify them of
the event and then get their correct e-mail addresses.



6. However some bounces get returned to me WITH my bulk e-mail address.



Why do some bounces get returned to me with my bulk e-mail address?

Different mail servers respond differently. For instance, AOL, CompuServe,
WMconnect and Yahoo routinely rejected my messages. These recipients were
mixed throughout my 18 distribution lists. I have had to discontinue my
subscription only messages to over 500 recipients.

Thank you,
