Hello all. I have a complex "newsletter" I need to build. Here is the flow.
1) database in excel with 10,000 clients that I will need to get into the system.
2) newsletter appearance to be very simple; just plain text. The goal is to make it appear that each email was typed by hand.
3) newsletter to appear as it came from a specific email address.
4) newsletter to go to only one user at a time as email will be personalized with their name and possibly 1 cell of notes specific to this client.
5) I would prefer if the webserver (php) that hosted the site sent the email.
6) only 800 emails to be sent per day as the owner of the company will be personally responding to the replies.
7) a way for the "newsletter" to pick up where it left off the previous day. For example we login and click a button it fires the first 800 and marks the records with 1 or Y to indicate it was processed. The next day we click a button and the system emails the next 800 (in this case 801-1600 and so on until the list is complete and all 10,000 emails have been sent.
8) when all 10,000 have been send we would click a button to reset all records back to N or 0.
9) a way to add a client to the list
10) a way to remove a client form the list
Any thoughts on comments. Is cobalt capable of this with or without a plugin? Is ACYMail the best option? Any guidance would much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
