I need to do some mass emailing (8000+) to subcribers of a newsletter.
I would also like people to be able to opt-out. Can I do this using
ASP/CDONTS, or I would use something else?

Any ideas?
Joe

ASP CDONTS will work...

Using CDONTS
What made it work for me was to add to the SMTP properties:
	1) Run Internet Service Manager.
	2) Right click on SMTP to bring up the properties.
	3) Select the Delivery tab and then select Advanced from there.
	4) Enter the IP address of the Exchange Server in the "Smart
Host".
	   Place the IP address between square brackets [] e.g.
[123.123.123.123]

<%
    Function sendNewsletter(Author,Subject,Content)
        Dim mailObj
        Set mailObj =3D Server.CreateObject(<whatever>)
        <mailObj setup string>
        ...
        ...

        strSQL =3D "SELECT Name,Email FROM usertable"

        <whatever connection code>
        <whatever recordset code>

        Dim sentMails
        sentMails =3D 0
        While NOT <recordset>.EOF =3D True
            ...Setup recipient
            ...Setup subject
            ...Setup Content
            .... and so forth
            mailObj.<Send>
            sentMails =3D sentMails +1
            Response.Write "Mail sent to: " & <recordset>("Email") &
"<br />"& vbCrlf
        Wend
    End Function
%>
