Hello,

I have a newsletter that I need to send to my subscribers ... the
users that registered on my web site and opted for receiving the
newsletter.

My first approach is to get all subscribers emails from my SQL
database and create ONE email where I define only the BCC having all
subscribers emails ...

But is this the way to do it?

Will this somehow be considered spam?

Should I send the emails one by one?

What is the best approach?

I am also worried if the email systems consider my newsletter as
spam ... which is not!

Thank You,
Miguel

Yes.

Not from that method alone, no. Your email server will end up sending
separate copies of the message to each recipient. The receiving server will
not know how many recipients there actually are, so it won't be able to make
some sort of SPAM judgement based on number of recipients.

Well, that's something you don't have a lot of control over.

Sound reasonable

It depends. Some spam filters look for keywords in body/subject and/or
presence of an attachment. Also the non existence of a To field might
also trigger some warning.

In this case I guess that the best way of knowing it is by testing.
Create an account in the most popular services (yahoo, gmail, hotmail,
etc) and see if the flag your email as spam.

I could always put the web site email NoReply on To and all the others
in BCC ... no?

You could.

But as I said the best way to know if a message will be qualified as
spam or not is sending it and testing if it's declared as so by the
recipient's service
