My favorite way of doing this - and I know I've posted it several
times but I'll do it again anyway:
1) store the e-mail addresses in Sql7 (or whatever)
2) write program in Perl or PerlScript if using ASP -
a) use Perl BulkMail package
b) program reads list 1st time sorted by domain from Sql7
i) exclude hotmail.com and msn.com
ii) I prefer DBI -
c) present to BulkMail using Envelope sending assuming
messages are all same
i) saves a lot of bandwidth and effort
d) program reads list 2nd time sorted by domain
i) include only hotmail.com and msn.com
ii) do not use envelope sending for these
(they bounce)
e) if you find other domains that refuse envelopes then
you can add those to the 2nd list
3) Use a Sender or Reply-To that is IMAIL program alias pointing
to Perl program which:
a) parses and removes bounced messages
b) and/or adds addresses to BulkMail package "banned" list
4) You can also use IMAIL program alias for subs and unsubs - qed
5) Use Microsoft's SMTP server as sending Mail server or *nix mta:
a) adequate bandwidth
b) fast and reliable DNS
