Customer email list

Hi and thank you in advance for your help.

I send out a weekly email news letter to my customers; however, I see that in my copy after it is sent out all the email address and customers names are published to the world. Not a good thing! I have all their names in a folder (Guest List) and that is what I put in the to box to send it to. I thought that only the folder name would be present to the receivers and all that email data would be hidden and safe. How can I hide this info when I send out my weekly news letter and protect my client base?

You need to do a BCC (Blank Carbon Copy) NOT To or CC (Carbon Copy).

Hi and thank you, but it didn't work. I put my folder "Guest List" into the BCC as you suggested and when I tried to send it two things happened. Firstly it would not send, because there is an incorrect email address in the group (there probably are many) and it put it into my drafts folder. When I opened the drafts folder and took a look at the BCC section of the heading it had all the names in their and not just the "Guest List."

Try putting YOUR email address in the TO and the group in the BCC, then send.

However, I still have the other problem and that is: Why would an email (> Hi and thank you, but I did try that on my own before I got your reply and

MAXe,

Check with your ISP as most don't allow sending emails to over x # of people at the same time. Where x depends on your ISP, for example, mine doesn't allow over 49. My email address + 49 = 50.

If you are doing hundreds, you will probably need to use an bulk email program. Google "mass email" or "bulk email". Free to $$$$'s
