Mailing List - Invalid Emails

[Alex Cook]

Hi everyone, I've got a huge list of clients to send a
newsletter to, but some of the email addresses are
obviously invalid.

What I would like to know is, are the emails sent to each
contact until it finds an invalid email address, or does
outlook check the validity of all the addresses, THEN
send the email?

I don't want any of my clients recieving hundreds copies
because Outlook tells me it found an invalid address when
sending, so I remove the incorrect adress and resend.

Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex

Yes.

No.

Try a mail merge to electronic mail instead. This sends one message to each
individual....won't choke on a bad address & fail to send the rest. What
you're doing now is sending everyone else another copy of the message....
