Now that we've gotten to bulk_mailer,  i'm curious if i'm doing this correctly:

I have bulk_mailer-1.13 for FreeBSD (any more recent version out 
there for FreeBSD?) and the following configuration:

testlist: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -h domain.com -l 
testlist testlist-outgoing"
testlist-outgoing: "|/usr/local/bulk_mailer/bulk_mailer 
owner-testlist@domain.com /usr/local/majordomo/Lists/testlist"
owner-testlist: listmaster
testlist-request: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper request-answer testlist"
testlist-approval: listmaster

But when I send email to testlist@domain.com, it doesn't got o the 
list.  If I go back to the old settings of
testlist-outgoing: :include:/usr/local/majordomo/Lists/testlist

Then everything works fine.  Anything you see i'm doing wrong?

The goal here is that my list of 8000 opt-in users (distribution 
list) is getting bounced by yahoo and excite and MSN as spam becuase 
of the # of recipients to their domain per message.  I believe 
bulk_mailer is supposed to fix this by restricting the # of 
recipients/message, correct?

Thanx much for the help!
