Outlook Outbox 'Jams'

Anne, I think you are trying to send too many e-mails in one go for the MAPI interface to handle. If you need to be sending this kind of bulk e-mail from Maximizer then really you need the Enterprise version of the product which has a built in Campaign Manager for handling large volume e-mailing.

We use Max 7 and I send emails in batches of 70 when I send an email blast. Just did one to about 500 people and it worked just fine.

It may indeed work fine on occasion Rooster, but on others it may not.

One thing to consider is if the ISP in question has any policies in place to target spammers? Sending 100+ e-mails in a short space of time may trigger some kind of alert and cause them to stop the account from sending for a period of time.

Really the key thing to remember when dealing with Maximizer and E-Mail is that Maximizer itself contains no e-mail capability at all, all it does is call functionality from Outlook using the MAPI interface. So in most cases where e-mail problems are occurring it is like either the interface itself or something in the Oulook configuration that is causing it.

I checked with my ISP- they are not blocking my account in any way.

My outbox jams as soon as I send more than one email.

Even if I send 4 via Maximizer, 3 jam, and only 1 gets sent.

The other 3 only get sent if I push them, i.e. open them individually, from the Outbox, and press 'send'. This is fine when I'm just sending 4 messages. It is not fine when I'm sending 100 messages.

Ann: I used to use Outlook Express for large mailings. If it works better, then maybe you'll have some idea where the problem is.
