Sending an E-mail blast

I want to send an e-mail blast out to all of my clients but I don't want it to appear as spam. What I would like to happen is have each e-mail personalized with the recipients first name. Is mail able to do this without having to create 50 different e-mails?

No, but you may find an Automator workflow that will do that. Maybe a script. Do some google searches.

  • E Mail blasting?

    it does not seem that the mail software version 4.4 that came with my i Mac can handle sending out over 500 emails at once.
    or what some would call an e mail blast.
    anyone else ever had this problem, or some info

    Sending out 500 emails should not be a problem. I run a website that has just about 7,000 members.
    Every now and then I send them all a email.
    I checked with my host sometime ago when I had around 5,000 members about emailing them all at once and asked if it would be a problem. I email them through software that sits on my host server so thought it was best to ask them.
    I was told it would not be a problem and they host sites that send out many more emails at a time then I do.
    Maybe if your spamming using email list all the time it's different, but if your just sending out a monthly news letter or what ever to only 500 people at a time I don't see were it should be a problem.

  • Limiting or delaying outgoing e-mail blasts

    We have our GWIA (8.02 HP2) running on
    a NetWare 6.5 SP8 server (VMware server).
    We've been having a problem with our GWIA's server
    rebooting (no record in Abend.log or SYS$LOG.ERR).
    Our Vsphere Client reports a spike in CPU and Memory
    Usage at the time of the reboot.
    IF this is related to someone sending out an e-mail
    blast (lots of recipients) ... is there a way to
    limit outgoing e-mail to a certain number, per hour
    --or, possibly, delaying responding to such volume
    to lessen the impact on the GWIA?
    Thanks,
    -Steve

    Hi,
    My random thought generator came up with these:
    Virtually all of GroupWise uses folder based queues to store up messages. So as a practical matter, reducing the number of SMTP Send Threads will reduce the number of simultaneous conversations. But any time the server spontaneously reboots its going to be a hardware issue - in your case a virtual hardware issue. You can use any SNMP trending system to monitor the number of threads in use, the depth of the send / recieve queues for the GWIA or set thresholds in GroupWise Monitor so you can be alerted when it gets clogged up.
    The file based queuing also means that you can run out of disk space. So if you have crafted a rather modest VM, it may run out of space. If the GW system lives on SYS, then the queued mail competes for space with the swap file.
    Are the agents running in protected memory? You may want to switch that around to see if it prevents an issue. If you are running them in protected memory - this means they have the potential to swap - which can run into the above disk space issue.
    Its also possible to disable automatic restart after abend, so that you can catch it in the act. But then you would need to baby sit the server and ensure you did not have extended periods of down time.
    Is the VM dedicated o being a GWIA? Or is thi server doing other stuff?
    Also its VERY easy to prop up a SLES 11 VM and install the GWIA on it. You can have any number of GWIAs running in parallel, and use the new one as your default outbound GWIA - leaving the inbound path unchanged - no mucking around in the MX records, etc.
    FWIW, we used to have this issue as well, about once every 3-6 weeks and had a "sacrificial server" set up - but now under Linux, it restarts just the GWIA without any loss of service. At that time we had 4 GWIAs and 4 Webaccess instances because they would up and die. Our reliability and uptime with GW 8.0.2 on Linux for our 3700 users is now > 99.997%. I like NetWare as much as the next guy, OK, probably more :-) but it getting long in the tooth. And we are very happy NOT to be running GroupWise on NetWare.

  • Cannot send Email with Mail since updated to 10.7.2, they stay in my Send Box...

    Since I updated, I cannot send Email through Mail, it works with Thunderbird though.

    Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app.  I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send.  I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success.  Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem.  As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work.  So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem. 

  • TS3899 Tried all the tips on line. Every time I try to send an e-mail, it gives me this message, "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed" Any help in how to resolve would be appreciated

    I went through all the steps to try to resolve getting the message in a box every time i try to send an e-mail. What next ?
    Message is " A copy has been placed in your
                        Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My internet works fine as I can send e-mails from my Yahoo account on my MAC no problem.
    Address is fine etc.

    How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

  • Keyboard shortcut for sending messages on Mail suddenly stops working

    I've created a keyboard shortcut (Command + Return) specifically for sending manssages on Mail. When I open Mail, this keyboard shortcut works perfectly but suddenly it stops working.
    If I close and reopen Mail, the keyboard shortcut starts to work again, but for a while.
    I'm using OS X 10.9.1 and Mail 7.1 (1827).

    Howdy Guilherme
    Give this a try if you haven't already.
    System Preferences
    Keyboard
    Shortcuts
    At the bottom of the left panel go to:
    App Shortcuts
    If Mail.app isn't there, add it.
    Under it add Send.
    Now choose your key combo i.e.
    ⌘↵
    Worked for me mail Version 7.1 (1827) running OS X 10.9.1.

  • Can you send encrypted e-mails using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

    We use SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send e-mails to employees for various notifications.  The e-mails go out through SCOT and are sent to our lotus notes.
    We have a project being implemented, where the data we are sending in the note is kind of sensitive, so we'd like to see if we could send the e-mail as encrypted.   Does anyone know if there is some parameter we can set upon sending that would encrypt the text in the e-mail for sending?

    This is most likely caused by an iCloud sign up (which forces you to use an email address as Apple ID).

  • Can I send an E-Mail with photo (not as an attachment)?

    I would like to send an E-Mail with a small photo (not as an attachment) to someone who is reluctant to open attachments. Can I do this and how??
    Thank you
    tch

    If you insert an image into the body, it will still be 'attached', even though it won't be listed as an attachment in the usual way. Another option is to upload the photo to your personal storage space such as OneDrive or Google Drive, and then email the link to the image. The image can then be displayed in a web browser. If you don't have a storage space, there are plenty of free image-hosting services.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
