question on mass emailing

I need to send out 500+ for a monthly newsletter but gmail is giving me some issues. The usual not sending it at all since one email might be messed up or one is dead. You know the deal

my other email on MSN only limits me to 50 per day... so thats out of question since its limiting.



So, How in the world can I send like 500+ newsletters in one shot without the whole thing failing. And those emails that are dead or screwed up will just kick back to me through mailer daemon and not nix the entire mass email..

ya dig?

not an option since most of these emails are going to club members that just gave an email address with their membership forms.

scew my other idea that was stupid.

You say that with your g-mail account you can only send out 50 e-mails a day. Well set up 5 different accounts so you can send out 50 on each account. Will it not allow you to do that since your using the same IP address?

can you set up 5 MSN accounts?

if one e-mail is wrong then you should get a message that it didn't work.

see the thing is... we want it to go from one email address so if anyone emails back with questions or w/e we don't have to hop email accounts all the time to check. It is much more convenient for it all to come and go from one.

alright this is what you need to do, Set up a google groups account. You will have to send out a large invite to the group, but just once. After that you can send mass emails all you want. To make a group account when you are in your gmail account go to the top where it says more then to groups. While it might take time the first time you will be able to send the mass emails very easily after that.
