    ok my friend figured it out. it was set so if someones email is invalid it messes the whole thing up. now we put a component where it doesnt matter if its invalid they still send through.

    Mass mailing is a bad idea anyway. You can get marked as spam too easily. Better to use a program specifically for mailing large amounts of people. One where you can cull bad addresses and bounces.
