Q:

Dear Dr. Margolies,

I am attempting to send my first edition of an e-mail newsletter to
attorneys. I have tried numerous times with the advice from Earthlink tech support of trying 
different things, and to no avail. What they are telling me now is that they are being kicked 
out because Earthlink doesn't allow any more than 20 or so at a time to be sent. It is part of 
their "anti-spam" program. I have about 150 attorneys to send to. Is there a program or 
some other way?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your e-mail .. I had a similar problem with AOL early on until I spoke with a 
supervisor and got on a special broadcast e-mail list. In other words .. once my e-mails are 
sent and they somehow see that I am on the approved list they let them go through. I 
recommend you speak with someone and advise them of the contents of the e-mails and 
possibly send one and hopefully they will let it go through. Realize that unsolicited e-mails 
is considered spam. If they continue to not allow you to send your broadcast e-mails then 
either find another isp or possibly call some of these attorneys and get their approval to 
accept your e-mail newsletter and ask their paralegal to send you an okay via e-mail .. save 
these and the e-mail addresses and send about 20 or so to Earthlink if this would help. By 
the way .. please include me on your list for these e-mail newsletters. Good Luck
