Hello list -
I have an opt-in mailing list that currently has about 15,000 users. I
foresee this list growing 2,000 - 5,000 users per month and am trying to
figure out the best solution for sending it out each week. I require the
>From and To in each mail sent out to look personal, like I am sending the
email to each user (remember, this is opt-in and I have no ill intentions).
To explain further:
1. From must be a person. Examples:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Gregg Bookspan [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
2. From must NOT be:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Jobing Administrator [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
blank
a non-person (i.e. a machine or something)
3. To must be the recipient's email address. Examples:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
4. To Must not be:
undisclosed recipients
blank
someone else's name/email address
Currently I have a custom ASP front-end using Flick's ocxMail (ASPMail)
connecting to a SQL2000 back-end. ASPMail connect with my IMail server for
each mail sent! Each round trip to the mail server is approximately 3
seconds. If you multiply that out, I am at over 12 hours right now!
Questions:
1. Can IMail's built-in list server conform to the two items listed above
(regarding the From and To)?
2. If not, do you know of any list server software that can?
3. Or, is it possible to create the outgoing mail files in the format that
IMail needs to read them, and just place them in the outgoing folder,
instead of "sending" them to the outgoing folder? I don't know if I am
asking this one correctly, but I can't think of another alternative right
now...
Thanks for all your help!
