I know that nearly everyone shudders at the mention of “bulk email” but sometimes there is a legit reason for sending an email to a large group. For instance, recently I found something interesting about my family history. I wanted to tell my large family about this find, but putting the full list of email addresses in my “To:” field may have put up some flags of spam with some email providers. This is where Serial Mail comes in.

With Serial Mail, you just put all the recipients into a group in your Address Book. Then, you create a draft of the email in Mail.app. Once it is saved as a draft, you highlight it and run Serial Mail. This app will create a separate email for each address in the group and send it along to that person.

As you can imagine, this would work well for coaches, scout leaders, teachers, business owners and anyone else who has a large group that they lead. It worked great for me. Even with all 112 family members.
