Re: [IMail Forum] Batch Sending

[Jeffery Rehm]

Won't work because of the application he's using.  He uses a CRM application with its own mail client.  Mailing lists would be redundant and a little more than he could probably handle (he's not that well versed and needs some hand holding most of the time with this stuff).   I considered setting him up with IMail and letting him use something like an alternate port relay service, but it won't work if there is no way for IMail to send in batches.  The CRM app won't do this, as it just pumps out emails as fast as it can, so I need to have something queue them and dole them out to the cable provider's SMTP server in limited batches. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Tolmachoff (Lists) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 23, 2004 11:07 Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Batch Sending Why not sell him a list service, host the list on your server, he sends one e-mail out to the list which then sends to all his customers.   John Tolmachoff Engineer/Consultant/Owner eServices For You   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeffery Rehm Sent: Saturday, October 23, 2004 7:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] Batch Sending   Can IMail be configured to send emails in batches of say 50 through a relay host, or does anyone know of something that will?   I have a customer that has no choice of providers except a cable provider who recently started blocking port 25 to all SMTP servers except their own and restricts emails to 50 in one shot.  His thought was to simply upgrade to their business class service, but the only advantage of this was that they removed the port 25 block.  They would still restrict him to 50 emails.   It only becomes a problem when he does a broadcast message (price updates, etc.) to his customers, but he does this at least once a week to around 2000 customers.  This isn't spam, but mail to people that want his mailings and do business with him regularly.   For the extra $70 the cable company wants for the business class service, they shouldn't restrict anything, but in their infinite wisdom they deem it necessary to choke the hell out of business owners also.   Jeffery Rehm   Confidentiality Note: The information contained in this email and document(s) attached are for the exclusive use of the addressee and may contain confidential, privileged, or non-disclosable information.
