My client would like to mailshot all her clients (2000 in total). She has all their e-mail addresses legitimately.
She has all the addresses in excel and we just need to mass-mail the clients with monthly offers.
Is this something that anyone has had experience in and could offer advice as to the best way to go about it.
Thanks in advance.

Many ISP’s don’t like bulk e-mails being sent through there email servers, because of the obvious spam connotations. They can sometimes apply a method of adding a growing time delay between email messages making it unusable over a certain amount, or even limiting an amount to be sent at anyone time.
There are many OSX mailing programs like mailings that will do this for you, releasing only a set amount of messages to get round this. But you really should have an easy method of enabling people to subscribe or un-subscribe to the list so you don’t fall foul of any Spam terms your ISP has set if you get found out.
Luckily we have mailing lists on our hosting accounts. Your 2000 email address can be copied into your mailing list, and html/plain text emails can be sent out from a control panel. Plus there is also a bit of code you can pop in a Freeway page, so users can easily add themselves, or remove themselves to a mailing list. Keeping your manual mailing list maintenance to a minimum, and adding new subscribers, you would not usually know about.
So I would check if your client has anything similar in their hosting.

Would the mailing list scenario mean that they are on a list similar to this FWTalk list - I suspect my client would like the subscribe/unsubscribe options (I’m sure I have this on the servers) but they wouldn’t want mass emails back and forth on the mailing list address. They would literally want them as recipients - but I also suspect this is probably customisable.

Yes, I have been looking through it and can’t see that option. I have it all working the way I want it to, but the mailing list email is on the bottom along with the unsubscribe link. The unsubscribe link is fine, but if they email the mailing list it will go to all the members.
I will keep hunting I think.

This would be an option on any mailing program. Certainly on Dada Mail

Under Non-Digest Options? It says “Footer added to mail sent to regular list members.” Header options are there, too. I think that’s it, isn’t it?
