I just got put in charge of setting up a mailing list for the company, to reach potential buyers by spamming all the real estate agents in the city. I need to learn how to set up a mailing list.

The reqs:
1.) I need the ability to send out a message to 1-2000 emails.
2.) I need to be able to add emails to the mailing list without having to ask the agent's permission (this sorta makes it spam, but this is what a real estate agent's email is for).
3.) I need to make it so all of this takes effect with only 1 email composed. If there are size restrictions on the number of emails we can send it up to 3 or 4 times to get to all the agents.

Anyone got any ideas? Good starting points?


Oh, and I need this done by the end of the week. Which is basically Sunday night, as far as I'm concerned. I doubt I'd have it done by tomorrow anyway.

Edit: Almost forgot to list what I have available:
1.) A Gmail account for the business
2.) The business name available for any other web based email provider that might make it easier.
3.) $500 to buy hardware if that's needed (God I hope not. I don't even know what I'm doing already, I don't need the extra headache of maintaining a mail server of some sort).

How are you getting email at the moment? Or do you mean 'the extra headache of maintaining another mail server'?

We dont' really use email much, most documents we need we just email to our personal emails (hotmail/gmail).

The thing about real estate is that most documentation is in paper form, and it's going to be that way for a while, so we didn't bother setting up any kind of web presence other than being listed in the yellow pages online.

Well if you're down at that level of informality you might as well just go with one of the ~42,000 companies listed when you google 'mailing list provider'.
