The above presumes that all of the emails are the same(bulk email).  This
may not be what is wanted.

I am using emails for one client where each person is getting a different
pdf attachment of their activity.

This totally automates a monthly process which runs through Windows task
manager the first of every month and emails the individual reports without a
clerk having to send 100 reports manually.  In actuality, 75 reports are
emailed with the balance being faxed.  This is all build into programming
which generates the proper output and commands for sending either by email
or fax.

Now, I have used Lightmail in my office.  However, in this case, since my
client is already using Printwizard, the process is run using Printwizard.

I like both products.
