As long as we're mentioning overpriced solutions, take a look at
MessageMedia's Unity Mail, it's a very nice solution! It's got a lot of
nice bells and whistles, as well giving you support for vbscript in the
messages. (so, for instance, you could make calls out to your sql or oracle
server to pull information about the customer's previous purchasing, then
offer them new products they'd be interested in, etc) Pretty cool imho. The
price tag makes MailShield look like freeware, though.
