why are my sent messages being blocked?

[Guest]

I frequently send e-mails to a large number of recipients / customers of my
home-based business. Messages are in my SENT folder but are not being
received.

Might be your ISP blocking this as spam.

Unless you get a bounce message back, it's impossible to know why. It could
be your server, the recipients server or a spam filter.

If they're in your Sent Items folder, then Outlook has sent them. Your mail
server has accepted them. It's not an Outlook problem. You can even verify
that with diagnostic logging. The log would show that the mail is actually
reaching your mail server.

My ISP, for example, blocks any group of more than 99 messages from going
out. And they don't allow exceptions, even though everyone to whom I'm
sending has subscribed to the little newsletter I want to send. The fix is
either to set up an Exchange server or to see what your ISP has in the way
of special (read more $$) programs for mass mailers. You can do it, it just
isn't available to the average user. Communigate Pro, by Stalker Software,
is one such program that will do what you want. Your ISP would have to be a
subscriber for you to use it. It's basically Listserv software but can be
used otherwise.
