I've used it to send a little over 3,000.
On one of my TheBat lists, we had a user subscribe with one of those
confounded challenge/response e-mail addresses and the challenge
didn't show what the e-mail address was that the challenge was for, so
I wrote a script to send an e-mail to each subscriber and in the
subject and message body I echo'd out the e-mail address being
e-mailed to.
Within an hour I had the challenge showing the e-mail address in the
subject line and we summarily unsubscribed them.
Granted this was on a Windows system which was using Mercury and not
SendMail though.
Cheers,
Leif Gregory
