Sending bulk emails

Thanks for the reply. It confirms what I thought : using a 3rd party
service might be the solution.

Nevertheless I have checked a few things : the ip and domain names
aren't blacklisted and the ip has a valid Reverse DNS lookup.
The strange thing is that when my client sends the same email from
the same address to the same recipients individually from the same
server but via a webmail, it isn't rejected as spam by the recipient ISP...

Anyway, I noticed a few times that members of this very list use
mandrill.com; I'll check their integration methods.
