I was sending out messages today [to craigslist addresses], and every time i get to 8th account, i gets rejected. Is this new?? Anyway to get around it?

Usually, CL's limit is set at 20. I've never heard of anyone getting bounce backs after 7 before. Just set up several gmail accounts and rotate them, so you are not sending out more than the limit from any one account each hour.

How old is the account ? how much posting have you done before with it i did hear that your limit can be dropped down if your account has been flagged

these accounts are a couple days old....never had a problem before. these are on 30+ different accounts, all have the same problem recently.

happened to me also. i was doing something very similar. account was disabled after 20 emails sent using BCC. the account was a day old so i tried with an 8 month account and no issues. i than googled for similar issues and found out it really depends on the age of your account if you are more likely to be canned or not

Gonna try it with a few old accounts and see what I come up with.

No problem at all with my old gmail accounts.
Look like they drasticly changed new accounts.
Time to let them age.

Can anyone recommend another free email provider that is good for mass mailing? (100's of mailing, not thousands)

I just switched to GMX

Huh, 7 emails per time, they must have some age based throttling algo in place. Sneaky guys. Still guess it cuts down on the work load they have to give away for free. Why people use Gma1l for this sort of thing I don't understand.
