I would like to email all my members an announcment once a week.. I went in to figure out how to do it, and there is a message,
I am running the MSSql if that makes any difference?! or is there a way to extract all the members email addresses so I can email them from my personal email account?! (host only allows 50 email addresses at a time, how could I break it down in to groups of 50?)
thanks much!! ------------- Live and learn through trial and error ~ when all else fails, ASK! |

Most web hosts don't allow the sending of bulk email and may shut down your account if you do as it only takes one complait and everyone using that host will have their emails rejected by anyone using a spam fileter. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

OK.. so if I just wanted to email a specific group of my members.. could I put them into a new 'catagory' and only email them? or could I chose what ones to specificaly email? basically, we added a chat room, and will have chat session once a week, the members want an email sent to them to remind them of chat night. so how do I "enable" the member emails? OR.. extract the email addresses so I could email them from my own ISP?! THANKS MUCH!!! Oh.. btw, I did check on Gear Hosts site.. and they allow emailing, but up to 50 addresses at a time. ------------- Live and learn through trial and error ~ when all else fails, ASK! |

If you are using your old forum code base from Web Wiz Hosts then you need to download the SQL sever version from this site and use the common.asp file for the admin area from that as it is slightly different and allows the mass mailer to work. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

OHHH.. -boRg- you were holding out on me!! I just found your "mailing list asp".. very exciting.. and EXTREAMLY user friendly!! (that's very important for someone like me who doen'st know what she's doing!!) now THIS solves all my problems.. only those who want the email, will receive the email.. and they can unsubscribe any time they want!! PERFECT!!!! How on earth could we ever repay you what your worth?! Oh.. and I am very excited too because I set it all up by myself.. and it even works.. I even had to set up the database, (I think I did anyway) I can't wait to show my members!! they will be thrilled!
