Hi!
I am using a free script without database for sending regular newsletters to about 7000 subscribers....however as the number of subscribers are increasing the script seems to be creating some problems ----- once I click on 'send', a few minutes later the 'error on page' and the page cannot be displayed appears!!!
My question is 1) is there a limit to the csv file that contains my list of subscribers (email ids) and is that the reason why the newsletter is not going to all the subscribers?? 2)Or is this an issue with the script?? 3) Is there a way through which i can know how many ids are no longer valid on my subscriber list??

It could be the script. It could be your web host. It could be due to multiple factors.

Have you checked to see if you are allowed to send out so many email messages through your mail server? It may not be the script but restrictions on how many emails you can send out.

Check the script to see if there is a limit on the # of subscribers it can handle. As far as I know, csv files can contains tons of data. It's just a text file with delimiters.

Email bounces are usually the way to figure out which ids are no longer valid. If you use hosted applications, usually this functionality is built in.
