Re: OT - Correct tool for the job?

[Gregory Pierce]

Actually if you're just spamming all 20k (or even subsets) or your 
exchange users, you're much better served by having your exchange admin 
just create groups for those subsets. The you send one mail to that 
broadcast/mailing list and the email server will take care of making 
sure the mail reaches the appropriate person.

To be honest, this doesn't sound like a job for a programmer at all. 
Sounds like something you could do by using features of the mail server 
itself.

Well... James is really a mail server... not quiet sure how it would 
fit in your master plan... you could always use JavaMail itself to 
create and send your emails in bulk...

Alternatively, you might be better off hooking up directly in your 
mail server (e.g. Exchange) and insert the messages directly there. If 
you are spamming all your 20K long suffering employees, this approach 
may turn out to be more straightforward instead of creating so much 
unnecessary traffic...

YMMV.
