[TriLUG] bulk email - gmail

[Aaron Joyner via TriLUG]

If people actually want your email, make a Google Group and invite them to

If you still insist, use one of the spam^W bulk email providers recommended
above to avoid all the common pitfalls that will land your ... valuable
communication in your user's Spam folder.
