Email Blast, How to

Greetings,
I am looking for the best way to accomplish this mission economically, with effective results.
Anybody an expert in this arena?
Requires software purchase? Any suggestions what type? Do you know companies that sell a list (naturally sorted to my criteria)? We currently have our own list of a couple of thousand clients, but would like to reach many more. Any must haves? Never do's?
Security issue to server?
Many thanx for the time and info!

We do one at work. Let me check with the owner and see what he uses.

You have to be careful, You don't want your domain blacklisted for sending out spam...

Jamf is right. I'm almost 100% positive you'll get blacklisted by spam servers and once you're on those lists, it's REALLY hard to get off.

We use Fairlogic WorldCast - Bulk Email Software (http://www.fairlogic.com/worldcast/)
It works pretty well for us but only send emails to a select group of customers.

There is a company that does it themselves:
Email Marketing Solutions from Constant Contact (http://www.constantcontact.com/index.jsp)

I would consider them if you have the budget.

Is this legal? :D

Depending on what he is emailing, Yes.
