I have a "real" mailing list. Many or most AOL addresses bounce.

The virtue of a mailing list is that there is no limit on how many
addresses you can send to. With my email software, and with my
provider, outgoing messages are refused if there are more than 25? 30?
something like that recipients.

You can also set up the list so that additions and deletions are
handled by the list, which some people prefer (I might not want to
tell you I no longer want to get your newsletter). Personally, I do it
manually, because I get subscribers from a couple of different routes.

Thanks for the tip.

I just checked it out, and I fail to see how this service provides any
advantage over just creating a mailing list using any common email software.

What am I missing?
