    Default Select batches of customers for email marketing?

    Hi

    my hosting company imposes a limit of 300 emails an hour to prevent the servers being blocked or added to spam blacklists.

    Our database of customers is approaching 2000 - is there a way of selecting the first, say 250 customers, then 251 - 500 etc. for emailshots, newsletter etc. to get around this restriction?

    The admin drop-down table doesn't give me an option to select sections of customers.


    thanks

    Derek

    Could you use mail chimp...there is zencart mod that also may be of use with it. Get existing member addresses via mysql database. Future members can have option to sign up to mail chimp via zencart.

    thanks misty

    my site doesn't actually use sideboxes but I can dump the customer records to an Excel file using myphpadmin, and tidy it up so as to be compatible with the import feature of mailchimp.
    This gives me access to all the mailchimp features.

    Mailchimp allows a "free forever" service for up to 2000 records & 12000 emails per month so this will suffice for the meantime.

    I would prefer a Zen integral solution but there doesn't seem to anything in the downloads section
