Mass emails
Good afternoon,
I help manage an organization for Special Needs Children and Adults. We sponsor adapted Sports activities as a way to build relationships, teach teamwork, and self-esteem.
I set up a separate email for the group from which I am attempting to send group emails. These emails go to anywhere from 50 to 250 users. I manage the list outside of Outlook: I create character strings of email addresses using excel and paste them into the BCC: line in Outlook. I am using the new Outlook.
Recently, that user (an outlook.com user) is blocked frequently and I have to go in and revalidate it. The message I get says I am violating the usage rules, but it does not tell me how.
I was going to look at a CRM system, but that adds a ton of baggage: all is want to do is send emails.
Does anyone have any ideas for how to accomplish what I am trying to do? I have names and addresses in an excel file and if I knew how I could do a mass import into Outlook. I would do that if it would fix the problem.
I would appreciate any input.
Jim

Microsoft started enforcing limits on the number of emails you can sent to external recipients per day, you are likely hitting that. Depending on your needs, it might be best if you use a service that specializes in bulk messaging instead, i.e. the likes of SendGrid, MailChimp, etc.
