legal mass mailing problems?

Hi,
I am web admin for a school's website and now and again I have to send
emails to those who have signed the guestbook and have consented to this.
Now I have a distribution list within outlook but whenever I try to send
these emails I receive different errors e.g. 'too many recipients' Does
using CDONTs to dynamically send emails eliminate this problem? Are you
aware of any cheap programs out there that will meet my needs? I would also
like to be able to easily track and delete the emails that are no longer in
use...

Many thanks

Your SMTP server may have a restriction on the number of recipients it will
accept in outbound e-mails. Have a chat with your SMTP server
administrator.

"Mass-mailing" is the job of a List Server not a Web server. Even a
normal Mail Server can have trouble if the list gets too large.

True. Along with everything else here, I also run our Exchange
Server. If anyone started trying to do "mass mailing" with it I'd
probably have to take 'em out in the back parking lot ;-)

Hi, all. Sorry, first off, for the kidna weird selection of crossposted groups, but this question touches on aspects of discussion in each of the groups. So I have a group of around 500 email addresses to which I would like to send a mass email occasionally. The group will never be much larger than 500 email addresses and will occasionally be about half that size. I have written a simple HTML interface and PHP backend to process the...

I'm putting together a mass mailing application for sending out newsletters from a site admin area (no spam). I'm wondering how I can automate the removal of bounced addresses in this application. The ideal situation would be that returning mail triggers a script that removes the address of said message's recipient from the list. I'm thinking about a script that checks the pop3 server of the reply-to address and parses the inbox to...

ALERT There is a person by the name of Mike Cox who's trying to turn this mailing list into a Big-8 newsgroup. Many of you know that this and most of the other postresql mailing lists are already gated to Google Groups and a small number of private news servers. If Mike Cox succeeds, this list will be available as a newsgroup on a great many more ISPs and NSPs, which could be a good or a bad thing. For one, e-mail addresses on this

I have a CSV file with 400,000 lines of email mailing list information that I need to migrate to a new PostgreSQL database. Each line has all the info I need except a PK (I usually use an int4 column for a PK). If the file were smaller I would probably just use Excel to pop in a PK and then just load into the table... Since Excel chokes on files greater than 65k lines, this won't work.

hi all, I would like to understand which are the best ways to send bulk mailings like for newsletters and so on ( not spamming, always to receivers who opt-in ).
