    I just got my hand on a big email list.

    I want to know how I can send out bulk email? I was using a bulk email sender but it needed smtp server or something?

    Im not sure what that is. Can anyone tell me the best and easiest way to send bulk emails? Any free options?

    Even if I can send 50-100 emails at a time I woudnt mind.

    Thanks for help guys.:)

    How often do you mean by when you say "50-100 emails at a time"? You could just purchase a hosting account or e-mail service and have access to an SMTP server.

    It's not so much the haters as the laws... 90% of people don't know the difference between a real email and spam if you make it look like a real email with unsubscribe links etc etc nice theme. But the anti-spam laws are gonna get ya here.

    What he said. Even if you'd like go forward with it.. Just try your gmail account. I believe they do let you send up one email shot per day or something 50 email ids in there. If you want professional email marketing(spamming) then go with something like constantcontact or something.

    Just as a matter of interest, how much mail are we talking? If you want to send a message to 1,000,000 people, no shared host, or ISP will allow that. Depending on the size of your list is going to define what we can recommend to you.

    I think sending 500 emails a day is safe

    hi this is pointless, if you send it from ur home pc the ip will be automatically on the spamhaus block list. Because they log all dynamic & static ips and prevent them sending mail until they are verified as needing email sent. If you send it from a paid SMTP server you might as well just get a service like Aweber. *face palm*

    I use aweber to send out all my emails. It's reliable and quick. Did you purchase the emails you have, from a safelist? You may be able to email them but as someone said, give them a chance to opt-out.
