I have a client that has over 50,000 contacts in Outlook organized in
different categories with the largest being around 27,000 contacts.
He uses these to send out company newsletters and such. I am trying
to find a solution for him to be able to use mail merge and send out
an email to these contacts and have yet to find a viable solution.
Everything we have tried usually ends up crashing or having an
overflow error due to the amount of contacts.

Does anyone know a way or an application that would work with this
amount of contacts? Price is not an issue.


Honestly, if price isn't an issue, I'd buy a copy of Exchange and make all
the contacts Custom Recipients (if that's still the term) in the Global
Address list. You could then set up a locked down distribution list, and
even a custom method for users to unsubscribe.

Conversely, you could really use any sort of server based LISTSERV type
program.

Personally, I don't think Outlook is really designed for a newsletter type
spam system. Sure you can shoehorn it in there, but, you can shoehorn a
database into Excel too, but, it should really be done in SQL Server (or
access).
