Standard Mailer Programmes
Your standard Outlook or Entourage software is not ideal for bulk email purposes, however should you wish to use such programmes you can hide the email addresses by inputting them into the BCC box. Input your own email address into the ‘To’ box. Each mail address should be separated with a ;
Example: johnsmith@company.co.za; siphodhlamini@gmail.com
It is advisable to send out small batches of mails at a time to avoid being pegged as a spammer. Send no more than 10 at a time using the BCC method.
