html bulk/mass mailer

[jeanjo]

I found a program that is called imail and it does html mailing, at the beggining it worked just fine and mailed the html files in seconds to everybody on the lists, now it mails 2 persons on the lists and skips 1 person and most of the time it aborts.
I would like to know if you know of a bulk/mass html mailer,program that I can use when I create my html files with dreamweaver to do direct mailing to huge databases.
Thanks
J

I don't like to think of myself as cynical, but I feel as if I'm about to help a potential spammer.

I've always had success using Thunderbird for bulk mailing for my company.

jeanjo, do a search of the forums and you'll find a few topics on such a subject. One nice choice is MailDrop.

Any clients I have who are interested in doing an e-marketing campaign are served well by it. It costs a small bit of money ($60 or so) but is well worth it. If you do go with it, pay for version 2 which is in beta stages right now (you get a license for the older stable version as well). V.2 allows multi-part messages (HTML and TXT in the same message) to be sent, so if a recipient doesn't have an HTML based client (or turned HTML off) they'll still be able to read and understand the message. We have a system setup using MailDrop and a MySQL DB on a server to keep track of recipients (and allow automated opt-outs). Works nicely and has kept the "maintenance" tasks down to a bare minimum.
