Hi Pete, The email addresses are from a contest Prevue is running. People voluntarily signed up for this. Review is set to owner and this will only be used twice. One for each part of the Prevue First '98 show we are airing. -----Original Message----- From: Pete Weiss [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, September 10, 1998 10:35 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: help with announce only list At 08:35 9/10/98 -0500, Lisa Coleman said: |I need to subscribe 25,000 people to an announce only list quietly. What is |the easiest way to do this? I have email addresses only in a text file |format. 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
