Hi guys
One of my recent development ideas is to create a PHP based bulk emailer for the company we work for. Currently we have some Macros programmed for Outlook XP by someone who used to work here, but as neither me or my colleagues are versed in VB we can’t really maintain the coding that well, and the macros are generally just degrading system performance (plus it’s one of the reasons why as a company we can’t yet upgrade to Vista or Office 2007).
Anyway, I’ve run a couple of small tests (i.e. creating templates with execCommand and sending to three external email addresses) and all is working splendidly. However, a lot of our mailing lists are in excess of over 100 people. My main query is, is there likely to be some sort of issue as to sending emails via HTTP rather then SMTP, and is our domain host likely to kick up some kind of fuss?
I’ll admit now that this whole domain business isn’t quite my forté so apologies if this seems a bit of an ignorant question, but obviously if there’s gonna be some sort of detrimental effect on anything I won’t really want to put in the necessary time and effort.
Thanks guys!!
