Hi,
I need to create a small app that will get a query with email addresses, um, let's say around the 40K to 100K (yep... :) ) and send an email to all of them.
I want to use BCC and no attachment needed. They all get the same email - no need to change any text from one user to the other.
The questions I got are:
1: It seems like the TO field can't be filled by the current email address from the BCC. only a fixed one. Is there a way to bypass this and make it look like a real personal email, sent only for a single email address?
2: What do you think is the best way to send all those emails?
- Small amount of emails, each with a LOT of BCCs?
- Huge amount of emails, each with a few BCCs in it?
- Another way??
(you have any idea about limitations regarding the amount of email addresses in a single email BCC's?)
3: I want to trap all those emails which didn't get out/recieved for any reason. (even the replay email from the server is good enough, but if you think of any other way, I'd love to know about it...)
It is quite hard to test such an application because all those big email providers, (like Yahoo and such), defend themselves and ignore such a huge amount of the same email to the same address... and I won't start bombarding innocent users with "testing!... testing!..." emails... :) got any idea how to test it? (Or... the code you make don't really need to be tested?... :-) )
Thanks!
Offir.
PS: if you think you give an answer worth more than 200, plz let me know... :) (I'd love to see such!...)
G' luck & thanks again,
Offir.
