Re: mass mailing programs (NO spam!)

options depend on the number of emails you need to send, if its less than a
few hundred at a time, you can manage these using a combination of excel or
access and mail merge in word to merge individual emails, these will turn up
when the merge is run in the default account in outlook express or outlook.

as these are programs that your clients are probably familiar with its not a
big step and the cost is minimal.

however if you are sending out thousands of email newsletters you will need
a server based solution probably using perl, php etc.

Subject: mass mailing programs (NO spam!)


| On this mass mailing topic.........Does anyone know of a good program
| that I can run from my computer that will do the following:
|         1. Run blind CC's, but allow me to name a group? (for instance,
| the TO: field can have Noteworthy Web Designs customers, but not show
| the individual names?)
|         2. Give me the option of plugging in the customers' individual
| names (such as Dear Joe's Gas Station........)
|         3. Import from an existing address book or spreadsheet?
|          4. Doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
| I found one at ZDNet called MailThem Pro, and it has everything, except,
| I think, the ability to personalize the message. Others I've found won't
| import or won't hide the recipient's names. I'd like to be able to refer
| a program to my customers, too, who want to send out their own
| newsletters.
| Thanks for any help you can give, and I promise to behave myself!
