Since you've never done this before, and you mention that the list has 400K users, I urge extreme caution. Unless you/your operation have explicitly requested and explicitly received permission from all 400K users to send them bulk email, then you should not do so. Note that permission is NOT transferable: a user who has given permission to A to receive bulk email from A has not given that same permission to B. Permission cannot be bought, sold, traded, presumed or inferred: and the sending of bulk email without permission is called "spamming".
