Hi all

We've just created a new contact management database in Filemaker and are in the process of extracting data from our old 4D database.

I'm looking for a plug in that allows us to send emails to a number of contacts, (1,000+) at a time without having to go outside of Filemaker.

It would also be really good if it could record un-deliverables. I've checked on Versiontracker and haven't been able to find anything that's any good.

Anyone know where I could go for something like this?

Thanks

Volume email is not really something that filemaker is designed for. An external solution if probably a much better bet.

I know that's probably the case The thing is, we have our customer data in filemaker and we send customer updates on a weekly basis and as such I was really hoping that it would be possible to do a quick selection and then email all within one application which would hopefully save us time merging and de-duping the date against other sources.
