        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.

        BTW, there are multiple techniques for BULK adding with pros and
cons.
        The list-owner's manual covers them.
