My business has a mailing list of approximately 1,800 email
addresses. We actually have over 4,000 contacts, but only 1,800 have
asked in or are otherwise appropriate for these newsletters (local
Chambers of Commercer, etc.). There is no opt-on or double opt-on
script on my website. I just build the list based on people who
contact me. We don't use any email distribution software, which is a
step to come for sure but for now, I only have a "Distribution List"
through Outlook. However, my emails through this distribution list
are being rejected, due to "tarpitting," as a "suspected spammer,"
with the additional clue of "31/30 max_bad_to". I don't mind
removing people from our newsletter/mailing list; and as much as I
hate to admit I deserve outside censure, I understand it if my human
error has caused unwanted intrustion upon peoples' privacy. However,
the vast majority of the people who are not receiving these
newsletters are people who want them: people of whose interest I have
firsthand knowledge. As someone who is legitimate, or at least not
an intentional spammer, how can I override this?
Some form of sending individual emails is the way to go. Either try mail
merge (look it up in the help) or try our email scheduler
(
http://www.repeatmail.com) which will allow you to send multiple individual
emails, html or plain text, with attachments, either as a one-off or
regularly at a specified time and interval. The recipients list can be drawn
from your Outlook Contacts, a plain text file,database or spreadsheet. It
also allows you to specify the interval between each send so as to avoid
triggering any spam limits on your account. Outlook is not needed to send.
Your machine needs to be switched on, but you don't even have to be logged
in. Works with Win 98/XP/2003/Vista
