I have my customers in my database and want to use the emails to send a mass
e mail. I used Word to do a mail merge and it wants to use Microsoft Outlook.
Our mail server is Outlook Express. Is there any mail servers that I can use
with my database emails (over 1,000) that I've stored in my database w/o
having to copy and paste them all into a mail server? I noticed also that if
you use Outlook, you can't do BCC. Any help here?
 
You cannot use OE for a mail merge. You must at least have a database for
the data source and Outlook for the transport.

No it's not. Outlook Express is a mail client. It is not a server.

You wouldn't use a mail server to perform this function.

BCC.

Outlook is perfectly capable of using Bcc.

What "database" are you using? Mail Merge is capable of using some
databases as the contact source, such as Access, anything you connect with
the Data Connection WIzard, or any database with an installed OLE-DB
provider or ODBC driver.
