50MB is nothing in terms of bandwidth; but if you send all the messages all at once you might strain Mail-Archive's max number of connections for the Mail Transfer Agent. Put in a 3 second delay between messages (bounce.pl supports this, I think) and you will be totally fine. Weekends are lighter in terms of traffic, but again, we aren't talking about a lot of mail here so it doesn't really matter. -Jeff _______________________________________________ Gossip mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jab.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gossip
