Company wide mass mail

[GShort]

Hello all, I am looking for a way to send a company wide mass mail. Now this would be easy if all the people that we were trying to e-mail were exchange user but sadly they aren't. Below is what I am looking for (as requested by one of the owners.)

He has a spread sheet that he copies and pastes all e-mails that he has listed. This gets him the e-mails that would not be listed in Exchange.
He would also like not to receive response and wants the e-mail from a dummy account (example: donotreply@ourdomain.com).

What is the best way to set up the dummy account, and if it is not able to be replyed to is it possible that we will be marked as SPAM?

Thanks

set up donotreply as an AD user. login. set up outlook.

open word, mail merge, point at spreadsheet, type email, send out.

As an alternative to using mail merge, you could also use vbscript to read from Excel and send using CDO or Outlook.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Mark
