How can I email 100 people at one time without the message going into a spam box?

I am registrar for a youth camp and need to send out documentation. I have found that my messages have gone into spam boxes, especially on AOL, even though I have created yahoo lists of not more than 25 addresses. It seems that when the lists "open" the message sends as if the addresses were all separate. I am very frustrated - anyone have an answer?

This is most often done with a program that will spool your email.





You can create the email once, and it will send out 100 individual emails. Spacing the time as neccessary so you're not seen sending out large amounts of email at one time and get blacklisted.





However with only 100 emails you shouldn't have too much of a problem.





You can purchase a program such as Gammadyne mailer for $149.99 (according to their site at: http://www.gammadyne.com/mmail.htm)

Reply:Unfortunately, with SPAM getting worse, SPAM filters are tightening-up even more, especially on places like AOL since they are a big target for spammers.





SPAM filters generate a signature on each incoming email. The signature is generated from the message so h(m) -%26gt; s. The signarture is a very sort string of numbers (say 16). When the SPAM filter sees more than a few emails that have the same signature, it knows they are the same message and starts to conclude its SPAM.





This is why SPAMMERS include random words in their messages.





If you can get all the people you are emailing to add you to their "white list" then it should allow emails from you go through. Unfortunately, how to use a white list is different for every system.





If you use a bulk mail program, most include a feature that lets you personalize every email even though the message is the same. Say, each email will start with "Dear %26lt;receipients's name%26gt;".





This may or may not help.





Bulk mail programs are lot more convenient for emailing lots of people anyway. They are used for legtimate purposes, not just spamming. I use them to send out HTML formatted email newsletters for several clients.
