I have opened a Yahoo Groups thingy for my classmates from school, unfortunately, most of them are too lazy to register (I was told that point blank on phone).
Does anyone know of a way I can create a mailing list (maybe by just sending a mail to one address) so I'll be able to mail up to 112 people at the same time?

Nah, just do it manually.

It's a bit tedious to set up, but you can probably set up an email contact with the following email address:

[email protected]>,<[email protected]>,<[email protected]

If you select that contact from your address book, it should send to all those addresses. It'll depend on the niceties of your email provider, so test it with two or three of your own addresses first.

Can you explain further Mikhail?

Sure. If you select two or more emails from your address book, your "To" field will look like:

Now, the stuff outside of the <> tags doesn't mean anything - it's a label for your sake. The email programme sees this as "Send an email to [email protected] and [email protected]". You can even delete the stuff outside the <> tags without changing what happens.

So, what happens if you happen to send to these two all the time? You can keep clicking the two emails on your address book, or you can define a new email contact:

Now when you select "My Friends" off your address book, the email's "To" field will look like:

You just have to remember not to have an opening bracket < at the start of the first email address and not to have a closing one > at the end of that last address. Otherwise, you can have as many addresses in there as you like.

Clear now?

Oh my, mikhail. You've just created a spammer!

Chxta · Nov 30, 2005

Not clear, as a matter of fact, it didn't work

He doesn't have my address. :tongue:

Chxta said:

Oh. :depressed What email provider do you use?

Chxta · Dec 2, 2005

I am using Yahoo for this particular gig...

Chxta said:

Okey-doke. I'll test using my own account there. I'll get back to you.

Chxta · Dec 2, 2005

:waits impatiently:

mikhail · Dec 2, 2005

Hang on - yahoo has an add list option. Just create a list, then add email contacts to it. Then you can just email the list. It's the same principle.

Chxta · Dec 2, 2005

That's the boring part...

It doesn't let you send a single mail to more than 50 at the same time, and we had 112 in my graduating class (University of Benin Engineering 2003)...

google has something similar. my dept uses it to send mass emails.

Chxta said:

Okay. I'll see what else I can dig up. I'm busy right now though, so it'll be a while.

Chxta · Dec 2, 2005

Thanks a lot Mikhail...

You just gave me an idea Enron...

When I said a while, I meant Monday, BTW. Sorry - had meetings in the afternoon then was out this evening and am now knackered. :oops:

Chxta · Dec 5, 2005

Still waiting...

Chxta said:

Shit - sorry man. Will have a look now.

mikhail · Dec 5, 2005

Ah. It works in gmail, but not with Yahoo. The useless sods check to see if you've entered a valid single email address.

You ahve gmail? The trick works there.
