creation of the OA object

the
CDO mail object to send out your emails. I have an SProc that you could
call
to generate the mails if so. Reply and I will supply if interested...

I've decided to send weekly emails to registered users ("members") on one
of
my sites. This will be the first time I attempted anything like this.
Now
I know I could use some 3rd party list server services like MailChimp.com
or
ConstantContact .com but since this site I have is basically maintained
and
developed for free, I want to keep my overhead as low as possible.
Before I actually dive into this and build one from scratch, is there
anything out there that is free or very inexpensive and is written in
ASP/VB.NET? I've tried searching this forum and even google but the
problem
is I'm not sure what keyword or phrase to search WITH. However, even if
I
do create one from scratch, which does seems fairly achievable, then I
have
a "loop" question.
Assuming that I do build one from scratch, I'd like to loop thru all the
members and email them a customized HTML email containing data
specifically
for them. So to reduce server strain and possible issues, I'd like to
place
a ...let's say....5 second delay within the loop so it sends an email
every
5 seconds.
So how would one add a delay in a loop? The only thing I can think of is
to
have a variable actually watch the seconds on the system clock ....and
that
seems pretty wasteful or resources.
And ideas or thoughts?
Thanks!
