You also need to consider who can post to the list, who can REVIEW the list, and how one unsubscribes in a timely fashion. Since you are a .COM site, you might need to consider how you acquired 25k email addresses; and if they were opt-in (I don't see any subscribe/unsubscribe instructions on your WEB site) and how to communicate with folks how they can then UNSUB. You might want to consider the anti-spam list SPAM-L. FAQ: http://bounce.to/spam-l/ BTW, there are multiple techniques for BULK adding with pros and cons. The list-owner's manual covers them. /Pete Weiss at Penn State
