* Mark Misulich [10-13-11 18:27]:

the list is so large that I have it broken up into six different mailing groups. Each time I send out the emails, I send them as bcc so that the mailing address list can't be captured by someone else.

What I normally do when I do the mailings is to click on the "write" button once for each of the six groups in the list. In the address window I click bcc, then type in the subdivision of the entire list, such as A-D, E-L, etc. Then I attach the newsletter to each email, paste in a subject in the subject window, and hit send.

If I understand your reply, then sending them as a bcc could be the cause of this?

No, just a lot of people think about bcc since it hides the names... I do the same/similar as you to a group of soccer parents/kids. I make an alias list of all the addrs and just use the alias to mail all at one go, but I use mutt instead of thunderbird (where I *no* experience). -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Each of the following recipients was rejected by a remote mail server. The reasons given by the server are included to help you determine why each recipient was rejected.

Recipient: Reason: 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does

not exist. Please try 5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or 5.1.1 unnecessary spaces.

I don't know what is causing this, and I don't have any good ideas about how to fix it. So I could use some help.

A quick google tells me it is http://www.ohionsp.org/members/newprograms/senior/SEM%20DB.xlsx

and the address is definitely listed there, next to the name Jeff Cox. I guess he gave you the wrong email address, but it is definitely in there

A second mystery is why you can't see it in thunderbird - my *guess* is that it is because sending failed, and thunderbird only adds working addresses to its list of "recent addresses", and that this is where you looked, and not in your actual mailing list of addresses

Anders Hi, I just did a quick look at Jeff's email address in my list. It is a different address than the darktuek@gmail.com address, and the gmail address isn't listed as an alternate.

The address list in Thunderbird lists three different address lists. They are "Personal Address Book", my complete list of addresses that I use that I update regularly and backup on CD which I have named "LDIF", and another list called "Collected Addresses". Jeff's name and address only appears in my maintained LDIF list. There are no addresses or names in Personal address list, its empty. In collected addresses, there are names and addresses, but nothing under Jeff Cox or darktuek... In my LDIF list, Jeff has a different address and darktuek... produces nothing, no response. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I had a look in the returned email source, and found this message. But I am not sure why darktuek... appears in the return.

A forwarded address.

That's why list software exist. It can send differentiated headers for each recipient so that you can learn which one is failing.

You could produce the email into a file, and send one by one by script. Plain text is easy enough, html I do not know.
