I am trying to email all my peeps for a "Spectacular Saturday" sale, somewhat like your fab friday's... (i work all day friday)

and all the emails are coming back as undeliverable...WTH??????
 
Ugh, good luck tracking down the problem.
 
If you send to too many addresses at once, many providers intercept the message as spam.

That might be it.
 
True. When I have a large group to send to I send out to only 10 people at a time and I wait an hour between groups. Its a pain but well worth it. I really need to set up "groups" so I can easily send out my regular emails.

I use gmail, and send it to a group. I have never had this happen before....
 
Also, if you BCC all the addresses, some might kick back. I have that problem occassionally. If I enter myself in the To area and everyone else in the BCC area, I'm good to go.
