Well what I was suggesting is not doing it as a mail merge, but rather using the list server itself to send. That way, the flow of email is controlled by the list server. In theory, you should not be black listed as mailling list servers send out huge amounts of mail to any given domain, on any given day. Your sales staff would only be sending the one email to the list address. I myself have a few lists with ~ 8000 users, and send multiple messages in a day.

DNK, Thanks for your quick response.

They can do email merge from excel sheet and the msgs goes out as individual msgs addressed to one id each. The problem is many emails can be bounced from the receiving server due to the mail box not existing currently. The ids of old discontinued customers are not used for a while and we don't know
if they are active now.

Will the server endup in spam black list is my query?

Thanks

If they can provide you with the addresses in an excel sheet, you can
import it into an ezmlm list. Problem solved. How to import is in the
wiki.

Hi Everyone,

Wish you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2009.

I have a corporate qmailtoaster mail server running fine. The sales
dept of
the company had come up with a requirement to send new year
greetings and
new offers to their discontinued customers thru email. There are
about 5000
email ids and they don't know if the ids are active or not and they
are
planning to email merge the message to the list.

My worry is will this make the server as a spam source and will the
server
end up in the spam black lists.

Your advise on this is very much appreciated.

Thanks / regards
Biju Jose
