I wasn't aware that the list sends each user the email individually.
That's not good.  Although very to use and uses double opt/etc
where the user subscribes and has the verify email and activate.

I ran a test on 3,000 "Cellular" phone numbers Ie:

(555) 747-XXXX (where the XXXX were replaced by a block of numbers)

I did a quick EXCEL from to and exported it as:

555747xxxx@xxxxxxxxx*.net you get the point.

My COBALT RAQ4	 Relay Window (in minutes) is "20"

I'm shutting doors on this cobalt raq4 next month.
Speed too slow, unhappy, tested mySQL, PHP, WebMail, 
myadminPHP, webalizer, learned quite a bit and time
to move to a 'white box' and install RH 7.2 (server mode).

I am very unhappy with my current data center.

PS. For the curious I was sending out link to www.mp3bynet.com
for the "Death to the Online Music Radio" article.  New
laws / copyright issues and big brother shutting down internet
radios.  That's beside the point here.

Anyone can give me input on Dell PowerEdge 350, or PowerEdge 1650?
I want the option to install *Nix or Win2K server with Multimedia
broadcast capabilities.
