I've tried BulkMailer as well, does not really address the names properly (recognizing first and last names as provided by PowerMail). For me, this has not been the real problem as much as the big ISPs blackmailing mails that are sent in large numbers, regardless of whether you are welcomed by the sender or not; send out bulk emails, you are a SPAMMER. If you want to build and maintain a viable business email solution, you'll eventually have to go through a third party email marketing company such as Vertical Response, with viable opt-in and opt- out features. Although I have many thousands of addressees collected over the years, I have found PowerMail severely lacking in helping the needs of serious businesses who want to create and maintain an email marketing tool. Requests to make the deletion of "dead" addresses easily and systematically have gone unanswered, so I KNOW the next time I send out a bulk email (MaxBulkMailer or not) I will have to hand-pick and delete literally hundreds and hundreds of dead addresses, one by one. Do yourself a favor (if this is the direction you're going), make the transition as soon as you can, possibly separating a business address from one you use for more personal communications. Something I wish I had done years ago. Hope this helps, I know I will eventually have to break away from PM, I just loath the idea of the amount of work involved.
