Yes, the test is with the new version of MLK that Nigel provided - otherwise you'd have no way to set the SSL version which is the root of the problem. AT&T must have changed their SSL version when they upgraded.
The problem had nothing to do with the number of emails you could send - you were not able to send even one email through MLK with the SSL engaged. And if you want to send more than 25 at a time with AT&T, you must be using the SSL.
I only sent in batches of 100 but the SSL rejection problem is gone. I did not bother sending more at one time for other reasons (most of my subscribers are local and thus too many emails hitting mail servers at one time triggers ISP spam blockers and reduces delivery rates.)
The fix lets you send via AT&T (my account is old enough that it is an SWBell account) with SSL. According to the somewhat unhelpful AT&T support people, and past experience, there is no sending limit. I believe that to be correct.
Robert- Thanks. I, too have swbell. I used to find that it stopped after 25 and then I would have to resend to the rest. I'm glad this works and I'm grateful (selfishly) that you had an issue so I didn't think I was doing something wrong. I found that especially with AOL customers the e-mails weren't ending up in spam folders if I used the swbell servers instead of the mail king servers.
