    I'm looking for a program that will allow me to send out an email to a bunch of people. It would be super nice if it was free. I need it to send out an email to each individual email address because free email accounts like Hotmail thinks that it is spam if the user's email doesn't appear in the TO:. I am of course not going to send spam. I need to send it out to a bunch of my users (~1500 emails). I could write something up in .NET but I'd be interested in any other recommendations. I've searched and searched online but everything is targeted at sending out marketing messages. Thanks, Jonathan

      How about using a console-based emailer[^] and writing a script that iterates through your user list?

        Gammadyne Mailer[^]. It's not free, but I've heard very good things about it. Or, as you said, you can write a little mailer script. I wrote one in Perl that iterates through a MySQL database and sends each user an email individually. It takes about 10-20 seconds to send emails out to 260 people. Jon Sagara Hi!

          I have an awesome free one for you. I don't have a link right now because I just got a new laptop and haven't put the program on this one yet, but as soon as I get to work I will post another reply. It is call Email Group Manager or something. I tried searching but could find it, if worst comes to worst I can send you the .zip install file. I use it to support my customers. It is awesome, you can import a text file full of contact info and everything for free, I even sent them a thank you email and told them it was great. anyway I will get back to you on this one.:-D Later,

                Yes this is very good. I've got the commercial version which I use to send out newsletters on ED. Works very well for me, and they have good support and are nice Irish folks.;) Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows. www.getsoft.com Make money with our new Affilate program

                      Looks like this one is going to be great! I tried it on a few emails and it worked. Even supported STMP Auth! Amazing. I'll see how it fairs once I get up into about a ~1000 emails but I don't see why it wouldn't. Thanks! :beer: Jonathan
