Simplest way I can think of is to export to a comma separated file, import in outlook contacts folder, create distribution list, and mail away (using the distribution list in the BCC field so that everyone on the list can't see everyone else).
If you can export the addresses one per line, or can write a batch (perl, vbs, qbasic, etc.) script to get the addresses in that form, blat can do the email part (hint: see blat's -bf option) A VBS or Perl program could be written to automate the whole thing fairly easily. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Holstrom, Don J.

I think if you are pulling from a DB, you would really want a product that could interface with that DB and do all the mailings, etc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Holstrom, Don J. Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 6:23 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: multiple mailings I am the IT guy at a museum in Washington, D.C. We have an e-mail list of over 5,000 to whom we send weekly HTML e-mails. My old e-mail program, PostCast Server & Pro Server, no longer work as they should. So I am looking for another program. Is there anything that works within Exchange? 5.5, 2K, or 2003? The maillist grows and is changed weekly. So I download a new database for each mailing. Otherwise I could just set up multiple distribution lists within Outlook. Anyone else doing something similar to this? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
