can't figure it out!

the problem is;

I have 4000 emails (newsletter subscribers) in newsletter subscription database and 2000 of them needs to be deleted(duplicate) (by mistake I added " ;,; ' at the end of each original2000 emails. so first I need to figure out how to delete them in bulk.
Is there a way to delete the whole database and import the needed original 2000 e-mails?if yes how?

then my hosting comp doesnt allow me to email to more than 500 people per hour. so I need to have 5 groups containing 500 emails per group (2000 in total)

Any suggestions?

Re: can't figure it out!

How did you add them in the first place?

Re: can't figure it out!

If we know how you got them in, we can probably give advice as to how to get them out.

Re: can't figure it out!

... are you talking about e-mail addresses in a ZENCART store... or some other software (phpList perhaps?)

Re: can't figure it out!

I took care of problems. only thing that i need to do is'

I am using newsletter subscription mod and when i upload about 2000 email adresses I accidentaly add " ;,; " to the end of each email.
Then I uploaded the correct ones but I still have the first 2000 with " ;,; " at the end. So all I need to do is to delete 2000 email adresses which has " ;,; " at the end of each one.

Any suggestions? :(
