[LinuxUsers] bulk email sending aka spam?

[Peter Manis]

I would create a text file or csv with the email addresses and just find a
python script that sends mail through smtp.  This is the most portable
solution as the modules needed will be in 99.9% of all python
installations.  Going that route you would be able to add multiple smtp
servers if needed and you can also setup a pause between each email to get
around any limitations set by administrators.  If it is a per
email/recipient limitation you would need to set a couple variables for each
server so that it will go up to but not exceed that many emails being send
through that server.
