How to send bulk emails?

    My hosting is down, I need to send an email to my mailing list for the site. I have no idea how to do it without my hosting.

    How can I send them all an email for free?

    I purchased Kristanix Email Sender Deluxe. But I have no idea how to work it. I tried to use a gmail account with it but couldn't get past entering the smtp details.

    Aweber costs a buck for the first month.

    I don't want to sign up for anything at the moment because I only need to send out three emails.

    I'm not that talented haha.

    And I did buy a software, but I can't get it to work with any free email provider, I'd need my hosting to start working again to be able to use my own smtp.

    Just use Gmail. Enter all the addresses in Bcc and send them all at once.

    I think FxKid solution is the best solution although it could have been possible if your original email still on so that you can confirm the email forwarding to a gmail account. I always do that so that in case my hosting expire, the email forwardingis still on so I still receive the email sent to my old email address.

    I have an idea...
    you can also register a google apps account with your domain name.. the free one.. and not the paid Apps account...

    So if say someday your host is down... you can use Google Apps to send emails from

    I guess it should work.. I have never tried personally.... I use Google Apps... but never tried this solution...

    You can use mozilla thunderbird if you are sending around 500.
    If you sen more than that, send it multiple times.

    good luck :)
