How to schedule release of emails ?

[Will]

Our isp only allows 100 emails per hour and 1,000 per day.

We are want to send a monthly newletter to about 2,000 group members.

We are using an old compuer with an older version of Outlook on it...

I'm not at the office now but I think the Outlook version is before the 2003
version...

or whatever... keep the emails on the computer until time to send them... or
will it attempt to upload them to the email server and ask it to 'hold them'
until the 'delivery time' ??

If we can make this work we will setup the computer to send 100 per hour
after we leave the office until we have sent a few hundred each night...
keeping our total outgoing emails to less than 1000...

thanks for any help.

It will do the former. Keep in mind that you'll need to keep Outlook
running during the inverval unless you're using Exchange.

I think vanilla Outlook is the wrong tool for this. See if something here
helps: http://www.slipstick.com/addins/massmail.asp . I also think you're
taking the wrong approach. There are so may ISPs that one of them will
gladly provide the service you need. Heck, even the one you use now may be
willing to adjust your limits if you contract with them to do so. If not,
change providers.
