Is there a chance that you've exceeded your host's allowed message rate? I had frustration years ago with a site that tried sending a newsletter to its members. After they reached a certain size, the number of members exceeded the host's limit on how many messages could be sent in an hour. I got no error messages or any indication that something went wrong. It just stopped sending messages after it reached the limit and quietly discarded the rest. Troubleshooting was really difficult because I never knew how many people received the message and how many didn't. Andrew
