send mail script hangs up in Entourage

[Tworth]

Please help this newbie!

My issue is... when perfoming a "send mail" script, Entourage opens up or comes to the front like it's "trying" but nothing goes beyond that. I have a couple of different files that I'd like to send mail to. One has approx. 5,000 people and the other has about 3 - 400. I have a "split recipients" script in Entourage in order to compensate for Verizon not letting me email more than so many per day. But I cant get the email to come up.

Perhaps I'm not setting it up right in the first place?

Could someone help or point me in a direction??

Thanks in advance,

Tworth PM'ed me and this is what we've found so far:

He was able to get the script working correctly for 20 addresses, but not for 30. Using the same file he had, which he sent me (after stripping personal data, of course!), and using Thunderbird 1.0.2 as the email client, I was able to run the script successfully for 100 records, but not 101.

Based on this, I have to conclude this is an issue with Entourage. MarkHand, are you using Entourage as well? I unfortunately cannot test that as I have no Macs available to me. Can anyone confirm?

RT, feel free to post your file here. I didn't want to do that since it's yours.

J - How did you get it to 100? Did you have to manipulate anything?

And... I could try another mail program if I just knew where to go in Filemaker to set that preference.

Is there another place to post this in order to get some answers?

thanks,
