Hi, i got a bit of a problem, i want to start a a newsletter for my customers there only a small number!

I want to send them all the same newsletter to all of them at once, but is there a way to do with without using the bbc and cc, because i dont want them to see each others email addresses?


Thanks,
Tom

If you don't want to use bcc or cc then you'd have to set up a system to email them individually.
Can I ask what's wrong with bcc?

The BCC function stands for "Blind Carbon Copy" which basically means everybody gets the same email, but no one can see anyone else who is on the email distribution list - this should cover what you want to do?

As long as your list is spam free - I would use somebody like http://mailchimp.com/ . Free for up to 2000 subscribers (12000 emails a month).

It means you not having to use your own ISP (many do not allow mailing lists on their servers).

Also sending out email using BCC is a just one potential sign of spammer. Your email could end up straight in the junk mail folder - not ideal.

Also hearing good things about Mad Mimi: https://madmimi.com/ free for up to 100 subscribers

Depending on how many you are going to send at once......you own ISP may put limits on it. I think mine has a policy of one bulk email (within limits obviously!) and then there must be a certain time gap before you can do another: otherwise it blocks them Never investigated exact times or number of recipients permitted.

You speak of "your customers" - so you must be on a business package so maybe things might be different when compared to personal/residential broadband accounts.

I'm not having a go-but what did you think was the difference between cc and bcc then?

The only problem with bcc is that some mail hosts think that it is spam.

You can use Word to do a mail merge?

You don't say which ISP? But if BT, they used to have a limit of 100 addressees per email-not sure if this is still the case. If so, and your mailing list is longer than 100, just split it into 2 groups, A-L, M-Z, etc.
