Dont use CF for this. There are quite a few programs out there specifically
for this purpose. There are even ones that will take an Access database with
email addresses in it and send your email to them.

Subject: Mailing Shots in CF
> Hi,

a

> 2) How can I send out a mail-shot to my customers?
> 3) I asked my ISP to install CoolFusion's IMS...but they didn't want to :(
