Spam laws require your hosting company to throttle your email when you're sending emails to so many recipients at one time. There are two options to get around it: use a service like constant contact or switch to a hosting company that has a newsletter/announcement feature built into the server...We use dreamhost for our server and announcement feature and have never had a problem. If you need any help, Kolby (the wonderful husband!) said he'd be glad to help....this is all from him, i'm just the lowly transcriber

He said the server option is cheaper. Hope your fam is well...when is that baby coming????!
Thanks so much everyone for helping, I just broke it up into smaller groups of emails and it worked perfectly. The fam is doing well, the baby is coming in mid May
