Thanks for your input Valdis.

Sometimes I need to send an email more than once to the same address because
some customers have multiple accounts with us. So basically I'm using a mail
merge email with their account number and invoice amount in the email. The
thing is some of the same customers have seperate accounts and invoices with
us. Therefore, I need to same another email to these same people but it has
the other account number and invoice amount in the email.

Also were do I check the MAXBSMTP value?

Thank you in advance for your time.
