Is there a free program that administrates the sending of broadcast emails?

I am looking to send a broadcast email to my email list and I want to know if there is a better way to do this than just "Bcc"ing everyone off the same email. Is there a program out there that does this and sends it to all recipients?

Dont know of any free ones bar this one eMail Broadcast CRM. http://mailsbroadcast.com/download.ecrm.... - note I havent tried it so dont know how good it is.
A paid one I know of is called 32bit Broadcaster
.
When u say Bcc'ing, are u just using a client? If u are, could u then not just create a distribution list and email it to that list?

I am using thunderbird and I was just going to put all the email addresses in the Bcc area and send it out so they cant see all the other recipients.

Never done this before so would be interested if you have a better way.

With thunderbird, u can create what they call "Lists". This is a distribution list.
I think its File, New, Mailing List (might be a button also).
Give the list a name then add your email addresses.

U should then be able to send to this list

Sorry, shud of said. Lists are available in the address book, not in main thunderbird window.
u shud be able to use this list in your BCC

Is the idea of using Lists any good to you? Seems a ideal replacement for your BCC's
Did u try out that freebie from the link I posted?

I tried the freebie and it has an installation error. Seems really cheap.

I think the Mailing List in Thunderbird is the best way to go for my purposes.

Is this a good advise for you:

You could use e.g. Thunderbird with a distribution list und place the name of the list in the 'bcc'-Field. This works fine.
