Help would be great!

Weekly I am sending my newsletter as a .pdf attachment
averaging about 125KB in size with considerable
difficulty. I have reviewed my setting with my ISP and
they are indicating that the erros are not on thier end.
My time out is set to the full five minutes and that is
still not enough. I have reduced the number of addresses
to batches of 160 with limited success. One batch of 35
worked tonight after several attempts. Is there a setting
that I am missing? Open to suggestions!!!

Click to expand...

In a DOS shell, see if the following might reset the TCP/IP protocol and
get you working okay:

On Windows 2000:

netsh int reset

On Windows XP:

netsh int ip reset
 
Did you ask the ISP what their limit might be on message volume/size through
their server? Remember, MIME encoding will increase the file size of the
attachment significantly - and do the math - presuming something like 200k
per attachment (I just made that up, but it can't be that off) x 160
recipients... that's getting pretty big.

As the built in mail merge to email won't work with attachments, I'd look
into a third party listserver program that can send messages out singly to a
list of recipients and include attachments. Search for "mass mail" at
