I know the programmer (personal friend) and how the program works fairly
well. I've used all sorts of versions on the Raq with no problems for years.
We currently use the Enterprise version and it successfully mails out to our
mailing list of 44,000 without a hitch. I've used the Lite version on
another version for a smaller list of 15,000 and it worked great as well.
Only problem was unsubscribing the bounces, that took some time. The program
should work fine for you.

Well, for instance on our 44,000 list, was imported from Lyris. The problem
was that Lyris flagged accounts that were turned off. But when we imported
our list, there was no way to tell who was on and who was off. So we had
thousands and I mean thousands of bad addresses.

I found that when I was doing my daily mailing of 15,000, that I had 100's
of bad addresses everyday. And that was when I was keeping up with it.
Mailbox full, not accepting attachments, user not found, all sorts of
errors. Just par for the course.
