I have a database with emails.
For these, I am curently sending mails manually. In other words, I send it to myself and then on the bcc I put the address of those I'm sending the emails.
Since there are so many, I have to break it down in 3 or 4 times.
I want to be able to get them all in a database( that would be easy) and then from the database send emails automatically to each one.
My database should be on the hosting service machine.
How do I do this?

Hi Edgardg,
Sorry for the delay in reply. Below are the rough guidelines to accomplish what you want, which I believe are very straightforward:
Note: You will need some coding experience with ASP.
1) Create an access database. If you are hosting on AccuWebHosting servers then you know that it's easy to create one through your control panel and best of all, it's free.
2) Next, create a table that stores the information, for example the names and email addresses.
3) Next, write an ASP page that does the below:
a. Connects to the database.
b. Has a loop that iterates through the Recordset (Table) that has the Name and email addresses from the beginning of the Recordset to the end.
c. Finally, simply call the mailing function that I have written to send mails in each iteration of your loop.
