Actually, you have a THIRD choice (and probably others!)

You can use the freeware version of EIMS 1.2 (The Eudora Internet Mail 
Server) along with our software, MailBurst. (EIMS 1.2 requires no set 
up... just double click and go. If you want to run it as a full mail 
server, it's simple to use.)

MailBurst lets you create simple text files and place then in the 
MailBurst:drop folder. In seconds, your message is on it's way and you 
don't need to run any extra network code or resources, just Rock Solid 
EIMS 1.2 and MailBurst.

Here's an example:

To send a file to 1 person, simply write the headers for the message, 
followed by a blank line, followed by the body of your message.  Name the 
file "-David@dantowitz.com" and place in the MailBurst drop folder and it 
will be zipped off to me.

To send a message to hundreds of people, first write all the users into a 
file, one per line, add a blank line, then add the mail headers, a blank 
line, and the message body, and place the file in the MailBurst:Drop 
folder and you're done.

MailBurst is commercial software. Download the fully-functional demo and 
give it a whirl. If it meets your needs, purchase it. Our customers 
basically start it up and forget about it. It's other functions may also 
prove useful for you!
