[opensuse-conference] Pinging 'old' conference goers
Heya folks, I've dug up a list of people who went to oSC in 2010 and 2011 but did not yet register for 2012. That's a list of almost 500 mail addresses with obvious duplicates removed*. I'd like to send them all a mail to invite them to oSC12, see below. Does anyone have any idea on HOW to send this? I'd rather not do it myself as I'm guessing Google will block me for the rest of my life if I spam 500 people at once. That's only allowed if it's actual spam, right? And I can use feedback on the letter :D Hugs, Jos * people who signed up with a different mail address between those conferences are still on there, nothing I can do other than go through 500 mail addresses by hand - I'd rather sacrifice Popcorn. ================== mail to send out Hello conference go-er!

Why not just send directly from indico? Go to an older conference and click "all" in the list of registrants (uncheck the ones you don't want to send to) and click on "Email" button. Copy/paste your email and voila! On Wed, 2012-09-19 at 18:42 +0200, Jos Poortvliet wrote:

I am currently sending 493 direct mails via a Thunderbird extension... Scary. If you receive no more mail from me, I've been blocked by all spamfilters in the world :D

Oh, you should be happy you got the mail individually. I screwed up much more with the mail to the people who have not answered the question of being on the participants ML or not - I had set everything up to send them all an individual mail, then hit the wrong button and now they all got each other in CC. 160 people. :( I should really not do these mass mailings after 17:00 :(
Greetings, Stephan (who wonders why he isn't registered) you registered with another address?
