I once wrote an application in MS Access that used Outlook to send individual emails to some 600 people from the database. Luckily, I had an example that only needed adaptations within my knowledge. The documentation on microsoft's site was very useful also.
So if you're in to some VBA programming yourself, I could give a few hints.

I've been trying to find a way of keeping members of a mailing list up to date on events I put on regularly (they all asked to join so no spamming involved)
This was easy in the beginning when there were only a hundred or so but the list has grown to about 2,000.
I've looked at commercial mailing list management software but the ones I've seen are limited to using a very plain format or are so expensive I just can't afford them. I had understood that there was a limit on the number of recipients a message could be BCC'd to but a few months back I received an email via another mailing list which I'd joined. The sender had mistakenly CC'd their entire mailing list of over 1,000 names. Leaving aside the fact this was rather irritating; I wondered how this was possible so I replied asking them what programme they were using as it is exactly what I'm looking for.
They eventually emailed back and just said they used Outlook. I hadn't realised this could be done with Outlook, I did ask them how they did it but have been waiting a long time for a response so thought I'd ask all you knowledgeable people here.
What are the restrictions on the number of recipients to an email using Outlook? Was it the fact they CC'd instead of BCC'd?
I'm using XP home and have an ADSL connection.
One other question. I am often told by people I have sent bulk emails to that they haven't received them. I suspect these are Hotmail users and the message goes straight to their junk folders. Is there any way of resolving this? a lot of people just don't bother checking their junk folders. Is there some programme out their which will email each address on a list individually?
