I need to send out 5000 faxes and 10000 emails a month. Any suggestions on software?

Question

How much more will my IPS charge me for the additional workload?

Note: I'm not spamming. They have all been pre-approved.

Answer 1

Your IP won't care. That number is too low to matter. However they have a max amount of emails that can be sent per day using their servers. Time Warner and Comcast are about 750 per day.

You could get a dummy website and get a ASP.NET application that would bypass their servers completely and use you own mail server from your website.

You know that you have to use your ISP's servers if you have to type in their SMTP server name to send an email.

To do the website would take someone about a day to write. Figure about 300-500 dollars for the website plus the cost to reg a name and secure a host..

The faxing is a different story because you have to not only have permission but a way for them to opt out. These things are really pricey.

Beware doing faxing. In my experience people do not like to get fax's. In fact less then spam email.
