Re: Email Newsletters

numero = 47406
interpreted = N
texte = I used to send out a list of 350K emails a week. We found the best system was a program like MaxBulkMailer (www.maxprog.com) running on 5-10 office computers running in parallel. These computers do not use your email server and are significantly faster.Hint: set up reverse DNS records and MX records or suffer many bouncebacks :) OT: Prediction: you are wasting your time. by the end of the year 2003 every ISP will bow to economic pressures and install intelligent adaptive spam filters on the main ISP mail servers, filtering out all commercial email, opt-in or not. Response rates will drop to the point no one will be willing to pay for sending out mass email, and the only people who will continue to do so will be the ones who don't have to pay to send out emails (i.e. spammers, not your paying customers.)
