New computor....I must have something set up different than before in Outlook
because the email blast appears to have been sent (shows in sent file) but
not received. I have been sending this blast successfully for several years,
but with new computor having troubles. Any ideas?
 
is your SMTP server blocking them as spam? or their server treating them as
spam?
 
How would I check the setting on the SMTP? Also, I send the blast to myself
at another email address, as well as my husband to test....niether of us
receive it so I don't think the problem is on the receiving end.
Thanks for your help.

Turn on the troubleshooting logging in Outlook. Then check the log to
see if your e-mail server accepted your message. If so then you no
longer have any control over its delivery. Could be you have gotten
blacklisted. Could be your e-mail provider changed their quotas and
have lowered the max-recipients-per-message quota, or they are now
implementing outbound spam filtering and all your same-content, large
number of e-mails are seen as outbound spam that they refuse to let
out of their mail server (but, I would suspect, you would get a
non-delivery report back from your mail server).

I a single instance of an e-mail makes it to a test mailbox then the
path for sending mails is working. So it comes back to you doing mass
mailings probably from a "personal" account and hitting your
provider's anti-spam quotas, so you'll have to ask them about your
troubles. We don't know how you perform your mailing "blast". Could
be you simply put way too many recipients into a single message.
Could be you use MailMerge or some other bulk mail client that sends
them out individually but then maybe you hit a
max-mail-sessions-per-minute anti-spam quota.
