Ham list

[keith smith]

1000 people is a large email list.  Most ISP's will not let you send that quantity within a short time.

You will require a an auto responder.  iContact is a good choice as is http://www.aweber.com/pricing.htm.  Both have about the same rates.  With these two you are looking at about $30/mo for 1000 email accounts.
