Sending bulk email
Hi Support,

I am using Kentico 6.0 and I want to implement a bulk email functionality.

I have nearly 2500 users in my system. i want to send notification email to them. Is there any efficient way to send the bulk email from kentico using any API?

If yes then please help me by a snippet of that API.

Thanks and regards,
Sachin

RE:Sending bulk email
Hello.

You can get dataset of all users using the UserInfoProvider.GetUsers method and then loop this dataset for e-mail addresses and send messages according to the following API example: http://devnet.kentico.com/Knowledge-Base/E-mail-Engine/Sending-E-mails-using-API.aspx

RE:Sending bulk email
Remember to turn on Emails and Email Queues in Site Manager>Settings>System>Emails as well. In there you can set batch sizes. I'm guessing you won't want to send all 2500 emails at once.

Hello.

I believe default batch size is 50, so you can start with this value.
