You want to use gammadyne mailer. It is the hands down best mail software I've ever used. The author wants a miniscule $100 for the license, and you'll get to send out TONS of email based on addresses in your database. It does all kinds of stuff. Really awesome software! A+++ Beats anything I've seen before. Don't even think about using CFMAIL its a joke.
http://www.gammadyne.com/mmail.htm I wrote a custom tag that interfaces to gammadyne over the command line via CFEXECUTE and it starts the gammadyne process running in a non blocking mode from CF. You can use gammadyne's GUI interface too. Hope this helps.

We've tried using the CF_HTMLAREA and CF_ActivEdit tags as WYSIWYG editors for entering the text into the templates but have found that this bloats up the HTML and it ends up large and clunky - not really good for email!!. We're also having problems getting the text to display properly, word wraps, line spacing etc. This effort is getting frustrating. There must be a ton of ways to effectively send out and manage hi quality HTML emails from our site (I get tons of well composed spam every day) and it seems like we're trying to reinvent the wheel when the garage is just next door!! Can anyone help in recommending a good product or service or source code or even just an idea or suggestion. Thanks for your time.
