How to send bulk emails....
-
Here's the problem. My son's school sends out weekly calendars, monthly newsletters, etc. Their web host refuses to send bulk emails with bcc's. The website guy mentioned that there are programs that hook into Outlook that take a bulk email with lots of cc's and/or bcc's and sends them out individually with the correct "to" recipient. Anyone use one of these? Any recommendations? Marc
It doesn't entirely answer the question, but my sons school uses www.parentmail.co.uk[^] to send mail home to parents. It's an online service that lets schools mail parents with full audit trail. I'm not sure if it's UK only, though.

If you have access to an Apache server the following PERL script will do the job. The script must have execute permissions (755) to be executed with a crontab entry. Note - the shell escape is a back-single-quote (`), not a regular single quote ('). =================================================================================== #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; $|++; # needed to run in a browser - remove if executed by a script print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; my $from = "mailadmin@your-domain.com"; my $subject = "subject-today"; # or cat a file containing the subject line my $msg= `cat msg-today.txt`; # file containing today's email body my $sendmail = "/usr/lib/sendmail"; foreach(`cat mailing-list.txt`){ # file containing mailing list email addresses open(MAIL, "|$sendmail -oi -t"); print MAIL "From: $from\n"; print MAIL "To: $_\n"; print MAIL "Subject: $subject\n\n"; print MAIL "$msg\n"; close(MAIL); } exit(0); ===================================================================================

THAT's what I was looking for. The "Send Personally" plugins. Thanks! Marc

Calypso BlindSend does not use BCC. It rather sends out unique emails for everybody.
