Maximum mail size? <br /> Any other policy issues I need to be aware of?<br /> <br /> ====Resolution====<br /> <br /> Max number of members<br /> ---------------------<br /> We don&#039;t strictly monitor the size of lists, but if your list has more than <br /> 4000 members there may be additional fees. If you send out more than 100<br /> messages in a month there may be additional fee for high-volume. This is weighed<br /> against the size of the messages and load it puts on our mailing list server.<br /> It&#039;s not an exact science. We recommend against sending messages larger than <br /> 10MB. Sending HTML messages is often tricky and we recommend testing their<br /> arrival on a number of different email clients and OS platforms to insure what<br /> you&#039;re sending is arriving as you intend.<br /> <br /> Policy issues<br /> -------------<br /> Mailing lists can be tricky for us. We absolutely do not and can not allow <br /> mailing lists to send bulk unsolicited email (spam). We can&#039;t because of the<br /> consequences to all our other customers. Having said that the next question is<br /> how do you decide if a list is being used that way.<br /> <br /> We pay careful attention to all reports that a mailing list is sending spam.<br /> We discourage any mailing list owner from purchasing lists of email addresses<br /> unless they know for sure these lists were created with the permission of the<br /> email address owners. We strongly discourage email address harvesting.<br /> <br /> If someone asks to be removed from a mailing list it is important that you <br /> grant that request in a timely manner.<br /> <br /> Mailing lists for the purpose of advertising are fine as long as the people<br /> on the list requested to be on the list and are allowed to leave the list<br /> when desired.<br /> <br /> Bulk unsolicited email is not limited to commercial ventures, political <br /> announcements, group recruitments, or just about anything can be spam. If<br /> they didn&#039;t request it they&#039;re likely to complain when they receive it, and<br /> not likely to view your group with favor. Spam really doesn&#039;t work.</div>
