Bulk email

I have been sending a weekly email to all personal profiles that have email addresses, approx 207, with no problems. We switched over to DSL last week and now when I send out the emails, I get errors on 100 of the addresses. The error report says " resources temporarily unavailable. Try again later." I can't see why half of my addresses would go and the other half not go.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Susan Shea

This doesn't appear to be a PC+ issue. It looks like your new ISP is limiting your email (and probably all its customer's) output to eliminate SPAM creation. What I would do is set the email subsystem under the SYSTEM PREFERENCES to only send 50 at a time, with a 3 or 4 minute wait between sends. This will probablybypass the ISP's limitiations.

Thanks for the suggestion, but my email is set to send 50 at time with a 10 min delay. I tried another eamil this afternoon with only active members and sent 100 emails and got errors on 50 of them. I'm really confused.

Definitely weird ...
fwiw ... you did change all the information in the email preferences to the new ISP's SMTP server, right ?? If the old data were still there, it could be that the system is trying to access that old mail server.
