I should have been a little more elaborate.

Our product is an ecomerce website. The client can view the subscribers
through an asp admin backend. There's a screen that allows them to type the
text of the newsletter and choose which subscribers the newsletter should go
to.

The newsletter than post the text and a query to a database to keep the
client from timing out from a long post.

We then have a service that queries the newsletter table, builds the list of
subscribers and uses Dundas Mail to send the newsletter out.

The problem occurs when the list of subscribers grows to amounts like 30,000.

I've used WebDav to talk with Exchange and I belive I could send one email
with 30,000 Bccs to Exchange and let it handle sending the emails. There's
been talk about setting up a list server, but now it seems there's a huge
amount of options.

Is exchange ideal for this, or is there a better implementation.
