If you are using an AppleScript-able e-mail client, like Outlook Express,
Entourage, PowerMail, Claris Emailer, etc., there are free bulk-mailing
AppleScripts that you can download that will take your newsletter (in one
file) and your mailing list (in another file) and it will launch your
e-mail program, create e-mail messages with the newsletter in the body of
the message, and each message will be addressed to a group of 50
addresses from your address list. They will all be sent via blind carbon
copy (BCC) so that recipients don't get a long list of e-mail addresses
in their e-mail header.
I've found this setup to be good for up to several thousand members.
Right now I am starting to push the envelope for this method with over
4,000 members.
I use the script at thise first link with Emailer. I also have a
modified version of the same script for OE.

I hope this helps. It is a very effective and inexpensive solution.
