    Look into Mail::Bulkmail, it's designed for this sort of thing. There is a limit to the number of address in a bcc if memory serves.

    Also...if I were you, I'd update your node not to contain real email addresses. If I were a bad person, or if there's a email address havester running across PM, you could have just make all your clients(?) spam targets.

    /\/\averick
    perl -l -e "eval pack('h*','072796e6470272f2c5f2c5166756279636b672');"

    Not really enough data.

    Check out:

    • Command line length limits on the mail proggy?
    • Arbitrary limits set by ISP?

    Don't think we really needed all those email addy's posted though. Somebody should edit those out pronto. Bad, risky, possibly illegal practice...
