Need help with a million-member list
Anyway we now have a stable version and want to invite old members back. All 967,000 of them (after cutting out about a million more that created an account but never used it).
We "cleaned" the list with an online service, but we're still getting 30% bounce rates on our first 10,000 invites. We ARE finding that the old users are interested in coming back, if only for nostalgia's sake, which makes us want to continue, but no legit e-mail provider is going to let us send out another 950,000 e-mails with an average 30% bounce rate.
What we need to do is send out the 950,000 e-mails ONCE, and just kill the accounts with e-mail addresses that bounce - there's no point in paying to store their old stuff anyway.
Then moving forward we'd presumably have a semi-normal bounce rate of a few percent.
My question is: isn't there some service that appeals mostly to spammers that we could use? I mean I get spam every day - they're certainly getting high bounce rates and they can't be paying that much to sell me fake Rolex's or pipe fittings every day.
Is there any way to actually find an email provider that regularly works with spammers, just so I can do my one mass mailing with 30% bounce?
