I am guessing you are using the mail() function. If so, you should know that that function is meant for a few emails at a time. If you want to sends lots of emails, you might want to have a look at the phpmailer class.
From http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php, they say:
"*Note: * * It is worth noting that the mail() function is not suitable for larger volumes of email in a loop. This function opens and closes an SMTP socket for each email, which is not very efficient. * * * * For the sending of large amounts of email, see the » PEAR::Mail<http://pear.php.net/package/Mail>, and » PEAR::Mail_Queue <http://pear.php.net/package/Mail_Queue> packages.*" However, if you still want to use the mail function, you can introduce some sort of delay within the loop, for example using the sleep() function, so that there is an acceptable delay between each call to the mail function.

@Sam,
Unfortunately your domain mail records may have been blacklisted for spam activity. You need to check this first and get it whitelisted. The simplest way out is to code in a counter/timer function so that the emails go at a pre-determined rate but not in a continuos pattern, or find bulk emailing provider.
HTHs.

I'm sending mails by looping a csv file in Joomla. The first batch of about 120 emails were sent without a problem. The next batch of about 130 emails however didn't go anywhere. Seems the mails must have been blocked somewhere.
How can I find out exactly where and how can this be prevented? Is it possible to send mails in a loop without a problem?
