    There is some software available for this type of mass email they might send the mails from there server, Or if you know some php you could write your own script or use formmail.

    I'm sorry to say mate but you've wasted your money. Unfortunately the majority of these addresses are useless and they won't read your email, let alone convert into a sale. Their emails have been sold to people like you time and time again and they have either a) ramped up their spam protection; b) ignore all spammy looking email or c) ditched their address completely.

    Mass sending email can also land you into a lot of trouble, so it's not worth it.

    Nah don't take him down if you do not know the solution, it is easy, get a php mail script which will dispatch a set amount of emails between intervals, I've used a few before.

    Yes, you should actually listen to "locomotion" and get started with this as soon as possible so that we can hear about your arrest and pending legal case on the earliest evening news. Mass mailing will definitely get you in trouble especially when it is unsolicited SPAM. Send enough SPAM and not only you but the IP address you are on will be marked as a SPAMmer affecting not only you but quite possibly other people on there, too.

    Plus, after one or more batches of mails sent, your mail will be automatically be flagged as SPAM and never reach anywhere but the junk mail folder.

    Email marketing is entirely different to mass spamming. You obtain the email addresses yourself through an opt-in form on your site. That is, users enter their email address and agree to receive emails from you. You can then send emails to them as much as you like, providing they can easily opt-out. This entire process can be automated by Aweber.

    Generated by robots from sites? That means someone has used a program to crawl the internet for email addresses and harvested them from different websites. You do not have permission to contact people like this, regardless of whether the addresses are "Active and Real".

    It is unsolicited email marketing (aka SPAM), I recommend you take this as a loss and move on. Stay well away from mass emailing people unless you are running your own double opt-in list.

    Not really sure if you would be able to end that many e-mails so fast. And it would be considered spam as long as it`s not your own mailing list. But works anyways. Try any mass mail sender software, there are some free ones available.

    If you send emails to those address using automated software from your server, the hosting will kick you for sure.
