Using the Mail App. in OS X

[Ernest Buckley]

Every month, I send out a monthly newsletter via the Internet using the Mail Application in OS X.

 

It seems that every time I send out the email, no one gets it. I get an error message saying that I am sending out too many emails.

 

Odd...

 

Anyone else have this issue? If so, what did you do do fix it?

 

Thanks.

What does this error message say exactly? Is it in a reply email, or something that pops up in the Mail application?

 

I've used OS X Mail for a few years without ever running into this problem.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the message is coming from your ISP's SMTP server.

 

Can you break your distribution list into smaller groups, like A-F, G-P, Q-Z?

 

I've spammed my entire address book a few times and never got such a message.

That's where I was going.

 

There's no limits of this kind that I'm aware of in Mail, so his ISP must have a spam police filter on the SMTP server.

 

Do what Bill said.

Ditto Bill and Jeff.

 

Post a screenshot or quote of the message, if you can, but chances are it's coming from the SMTP mailserver.

 

Breaking it up into chunks is the easiest way to do it.

It's coming from your ISP. To send out bulk mail like that from most ISP's is gonna require a business account.

 

I can't do it from my DSL email box but I can do it from my webhosting account email box. Same ISP.

I`ll try sending it from my website email account. Thanks for the advice.
