  Hello,

  I have set up sp_send_dbmail to send me a newsletter at a test. I would now like it to send out to the 15,000 registered recipients I have in one of my SQL 2005 tables.

  Is there a way of using sp_send_dbmail to send to multiple recipients in the stored procedure?

  Would sp_send_dbmail be the most efficient way of doing it?

  Thanks!

  You can (I believe) separate addresses with semicolons, but I'm not sure you want to do this.

  Likely you want some loop or process that sends xxx at a time, and tracks the sends.
