Thanks for that. I'm more concerned the the ISP mail server may flag
this as outgoing spam (is this possible??).

As a "quick fix" I've had to split the subscribers into 5 sections
(alphabetically) and the admin sends to each group in turn. This is
far from elegant - and [outgoing] spamguards are just as likely to
flag 150 messages as they are 900. Also, even 150 consecutive hits may
still swamp the server <??>.

Ideally, I either send in smaller chunks or put in a breather between
each e-mail ... automatically ... and without the admin sitting there,
staring at a blank screen wondering whether he's crashed the server!
