RE: multiple mailings
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.

RE: multiple mailings
Hi Don: Are the 5,000 e-mails already in Exchange? If not (and you have to other reason compelling you to add them) you will probably want to manage the lists outside Exchange. I know many companies that seem to be happy running majordomo or LISTSERV. If you have need to keep them in Exchange, you may want to look at SmartDL from Imanami. SmartDL can dynamically keep your lists Exchange/AD list synchronized with your database. Good luck.

RE: multiple mailings
I had a project some time ago where I had to validate all our custom recipients (thousands of them) and clean out those that don't exist anymore. I used Arclab MailList Controller and it worked quite well. It does not feed directly off Exchange but has a lot of export/import capabilities. And it cleans itself when recipient addresses become outdated. http://www.arclab.com/products/amlc/index.html If you want something that actually integrates with Exchange, take a look at Reddfish. http://www.reddfish.co.nz/ Sincerely, Andrey Fyodorov, Exchange MVP Systems Engineer Messaging and Collaboration Spherion -Original Message- From: Holstrom, Don J.
