    You could try this that I just found.

    Determine whether you would rather use your own email service or a mass email sending platform.
    Using your own email service presents problems. When using your own email provider, the recipient of your messages will see the others you've sent the message to unless you use BCC (blind carbon copy), but some email providers will not deliver those. Also, unless your particular email service allows it, you cannot send scheduled mass emails.
    With a mass email platform, you can send the message to multiple recipients and they will not be able to determine the others you've sent the message to.

    Select a mass email platform. There are several free ones, including Vertical Response and Smart Serial Mail (see Resources). While you can use the free trials, you will eventually need to purchase a membership or credits to continue sending mass emails.
    If you do use your own email provider, you will create your message and input the email addresses just as you do for your everyday email. This is the only way to send email for free forever, but it's also the least effective and can cause problems associated with spam email (see Resources).

    Create an account with your chosen platform by registering. You will need to enter your email address and create a user name and password to take advantage of the services. Add your contact list information to the database within the mass email platform.

    Create a new campaign within the mass email platform and create your message following directions provided with the platform. Typically, you can copy and paste if you've already created a pre-written message in Microsoft Word or other writing software. You may need to add pictures, borders or logos in order to make your mass email more attractive. This is especially true if you're sending a newsletter or something similar.

    Send a test message. Most mass email sending platforms allow you to enter your own email address and send a test message in order to ensure that the e-mail is the way you want it. Preview the test and make sure it's exactly what you want your contact list to receive. Then, send the email to the recipients.

    Create a subscribers list through a program like Aweber (all mails are in inbox, not junkbox). You should send LEGAL mails, to LEGAL subscribers though and not just spam random emails. If you do the last thing, I hope they'll sue you ;) If it's to do it the legal way and sending informative emails to a list of subscribers, I wish you success! :D

    Yes you need a mass mailing system like Aweber, Constant Contact or for a self-hosted platform, Interspire.

    Most email senders charge a penny a subscriber, and if your list gets larger you can get it for 1/2 a penny. So it is essentially almost free.

    Have you checked out MailChimp? They have a pay as you go pricing plan. I think they might have a free version or trial. I don't have enough posts to post a link for you.

    I used to work in a company. My boss just asked me to open an sofeware each morning, he told me that the software would send thousands of emails to others each day. And it just search email adress automatically on the net. I just do it according to his orders and did't go deep into it. I think you can search on the net to know more about it. Hope it can help you.

    Sounds pretty shady to me... That is some mass spam if the software is just searching for random adresses online. I would not recommend doing this.
