    BT Mail - can't send group email

    BT mail seems to have new spam settings which prevent me sending mail to more than 25 at a time. Since I have to send something out to several hundred people, this is very inconvenient. BT support say there's nothing they can do.

    Is there any way around this without using a different email provider? There's a good reason I can't change provider st the moment.

    What about gmail / hotmail etc?
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        Amazon SES shouldn't cost more than 20p to send those mails once you configure the account.
        merely at clientco for the entertainment

          I used to face this issue with f4j mailing lists. I wanted to bcc - so I divided into groups of 25 and sent about 20 emails.

          Why can't you send it as 20 emails?

            I suppose I could create 20 groups each with no more than 25 recipients and send the mail 20 times. Would be easy to miss one out though. Maybe there's some kind of macro I could set up...

              Register a free gmail account. Define a filter that when it receives an email from you, it forwards to the 100+ people. Then email the one Gmail address from your BT account, and let Google forward it for you.

                It would appear that you can only have 1 active forwarding address per filter and there is a limit of 20 filters
