Sending bulk emails

[Simon Smith]

Its best not to send bulk email via a web server. Mail servers will start
marking emails as spam as soon as the see a number of incoming messages
from a single location. Depending on what you are sending there are a
number of newsletter or transactional mail providers - mail chimp /
mandrill.com, critsend.com, mailgun.com - there a number you can use (just
check google). Your best bet is take a look at a couple of them and see
what offers the best pricing and intergration methods.

Also sending the email as though its coming from the clients domain is
probably going to increase the chances it is seen as spam. Increasingly
more and more mail providers are also checking spf records etc and if these
are not setup correctly, your chances of being seen as spam are increased.

Best to send from a single email address and ensure everything is setup
correctly and to ask clients to whitelist that address.
