I'd rather not imagine that ;-)

For example by not filling in To; or Cc: fields of the mail the compose
in their email program, only using Bcc:

I've been doing this kind of mailers with PHP, very simple, and the
biggest lists have been around 10000 subscribers - which is already a
bit much, but still managable.
If the band is expecting a lot more traffic, it might be a good idea to
invest a bit more than £30/year to the hosting... For £30/month they'll
get a service where there will be no problems sending large amount of
mail or having large amount of visitors. That investment would be
covered by the sale of just a couple CD's more.
