My question now is how to email all those 2000 addresses with one email that
I want to send them so nobody sees all those addresses, is there an easier
way rather than selecting all and dropping that into Bcc (which suspect wont
work very well with so many addresses!).
Personally I would encourage you to set up your list using a professional
mailing list server. You can either run your own or contract out to
companies who offer list hosting. Your existing Internet provider may
already offer this. You'll save yourself a lot of hassle for only a minor
amount of money. Subscribing and unsubscribing can be automated and a
dedicated mailing list server handles large mailings more efficiently than a
regular individual SMTP server.
If you decide to go with Entourage, here are some things to consider. Prior
to sending out such a large mailing, best to advise your Internet provider
and ask about their rules for sending a batch mailing. They may ask you to
schedule sending during an off-peak time and to break up the job into
batches (the Split Recipients AppleScript can help you here). They may get
complaints about unwanted email (regardless of the actual opt-ins tatus of
your customers), and they need to be prepared to answer those complaints.
Also does it matter if I use plain text or HTML email to send out?
No, although an HTML message is larger and will take additional resources to
send.
