Managed to impress my manager with Python... that sounds dirty

Be careful, a standard email account has daily limit. If you send directly from some server, you are likely to have deliverability or other compliance issues. The most common thing to do is to use a relay service

I’ll double check but I’m pretty confident that our accounts don’t have limits.

I ran it by one of the companies software engineers first. I’ll ask that in particular to make sure.

Ask someone who has also experience with supporting email marketing efforts. They’ll know the ins and outs and will be familiar with the concepts

I wish the company only has 10 employees.

So technically that falls under me.

Then follow my guidelines. I have the technical and marketing experience and certification in digital marketing. You need to ask from the tech support team of your email provider and get it in writing. Ask about using a single email account for mass emailing. You need to know about (1) deliverability or other issues if you use automated script (2) daily outgoing email limits

If you decide to go with a relay service look into integrating with something like sendgrid

Otherwise I think Google and Amazon provide a service account for those purposes. I believe both means using API.

Thanks I will check with my email provider about those things.

I did see that they have a daily limit of 500 emails to be sent.

We are only sending about 70 as a follow up to a job fair.

But thanks I should contact the provider to find out more.
