Problem with e-mails that do not exist

Hi, I got a problem when sending very many e-mails. The database from my company that I'm using is old and often the e-mails that are there do not exist, and when I'm sending like 300 or more e-mails the error msg about user that doesn't exist interrupts sending. It's so disturbing.

How to get Thunderbird to ignore these messages and send mails on another accounts?

Thunderbird is not a marketing engine, it is designed for personal mail use.

Sending mail in the volumes you mention is in breach of the terms of use of just about every ISP in the world and will probably see your mail server black listed.

As far the stopping, Thunderbird makes a point of making sure that you understand that your mail list is rubbish. Otherwise we get complaints that the mail was not delivered.

Anyway, take Thunderbird offline by clicking the icon in the bottom left corner Do your mail and then take it online. by clicking the same icon over again.

How do you expect Thunderbird to know a good address from a bad address? Clean up your data base and stop spamming everyone.

It is not a spam, it's a question to companies by other well known company (the law in here allows that). Hmm, guess how - after trying to send message it does get answer "sorry, no such user" and istead of ignoring that answer and sending rest e-mails it stops the whole process.
