I run a site that sells eBooks (over 5MB of pdf files). I do many things to make sure my promised eBooks reach my clients, like taking them to the download page from the 'Thank You' page, sending emails from more than one email id, etc. Yet, I receive complaints from some of my clients that they don't receive the download instructions. Since my eBooks sell well, many emails go from me to my clients, everyday. Also, my free newsletters reach a large population. I suspect, sp*am filters may be detecting my genuine permission mails as sp*am, and lead to some of my clients receiving my 'download instructions' against their payment in their junk mail boxes. Is there a cost-effective way to make 100% sure my clients always receive my emails in the Inboxes? Part of the problem is that most clients don't know how to download large pdf files, or to unzip files; they just click, and their machines hang. Is there a simple, 'non-physical dispatch' way to safely reach my pdf files to my clients?

How about extending the design of the site to allow your clients to access a page of links to books that they have paid for?  This way they would not have to rely on an email to give them access to the downloads?\n\nProviding you have a suitable authentication mechanism in place it should work fine this way.\n\nOn another note, try to make the emails not look spa*mmy:\n (1) Don't add advertising \n (2) if you generate HTML content - ensure that you have a plain text alternate part to the email.\n (3) Check that you have not been blacklisted by anti spam filters - e.g. http://www.surbl.org/

There is a limit to the amount you can compress. I've heard good things about using http://www.yousendit.com/ to send large file sizes, though.

Junk mails are unsafe mails forwarded to millions of mail ids.. so mail servers tag them as junk mail .. it is the best option to delete these mails , opening any such file can harm your computer .. \n\nnow days many scam mails are also floated via net , saying "u have won some lottery " or "some one in south africa left a lot of money , help us to recover it " etc.. or trying to get some of valueable info like paypal id , your credit card number etc. \n\nso, the moral of the story is, dont open any such mail and never ever try to download any attachments ..

I think there is software out there that you can attach to the message so you get an email when it is opened.  I don't know where to find it or how it works, but I have heard of businesses using it.  Just an idea!

What kind of question is this?!?! Don't you ever use email? You can send whatever you want. I get attachments that are 2-3 Mb with no problem, whatsoever. I bet a simple text file should be 20 K and should pose no problem at all.

A Google search will show you several ways to convert your document to a pdf file, for free.  Something like:\n\nproduce pdf files free\n\nOf course, you can expect that anything that's free will have some sort of catch, such as advertising or at least a "Produced by XYZ PDF Machine" tag that you will not be able to remove.\n\nIn the long run, you'll be better off if you buy a product that can produce PDF files.  These may cost something from 20 to 50 US dollars.  Or, if you go to a facility such as Kinko's, they will have some computers you can use, for a per-minute fee, and if you check they may have at least one computer that has both MS Office (incl. Publisher) and Adobe Acrobat Professional installed.  So, for about $15, you should be able to get a really good copy of your newsletter.

It depends... if you're using a personal email address (Yahoo, Hotmail, Comcast, whatever) you can as long as they're not too big. One or two songs per email, not the whole album--- 10mb is a good rule of thumb for maximum attachment size.\n\nIf you're using a corporate/work email address, possibly but probably not. Many companies have policies that these files can't be sent through company email--- too big, and not work-related. The machines that enforce these policies can check inside a zip and see what's there, and will also often be able to catch the mp3 even if you rename it to .doc or something.\n\nSo ask your friend to keep the messages small and send them to you at home, and you should be fine!

Yeah! Zip'em! If too big, consider splitting them through a file spiltter program (I think there is a trial version on the net, you can google for it). Try also using Xdrive or Yahoo Briefcase or other upload servers so you can send them easily to many friends many times.

When you send your mail to your mail server (ie: yahoo.com, gmail.com, hotmail.com, etc.), you send out the following as ordered below:\n\n1) Your e-mail address\nThis lets the server know who you are sending it from.\n\n2) Addresses to send the message to\nThese e-mail addresses include all To, CC, and BCC recipients. There is no disctiction between which addresses are To, CC, or BCC. The mail server uses this information in order to forward your message to your specified recipients\n\n3) Your message. This is what is passed on. E-Mail addresses that the message are sent to usually appear in what is called the "header" of the message. This "header" is generated by your e-mail client (Outlook, Outlook Express, Webmail, etc). Since mail servers generally do not use these header information to deliver mail (they do use it to filter spam), not all the recipients e-mail's need to be listed. By not listing certain e-mail's in this header, you may send your message to a variety of people, that other recipients do not know about.\n\nOkay, now to answer your question.\n\nIt is not easy to track down the BCC recipients of an e-mail message you received. In order to do so, you would need to contact the administrator for the sender's domain.\n\nThat is, if the mail is sent from amadeupaddress@hotmail.com, then one would have to contact the mail administrator for hotmail.com. Abuse@WhereverItWasSentFrom is usually the best guess on where to obtain information on the BCC recipients.\n\nNow, even if the administrators of that domain keep such detailed logs (which most dont), it would be almost impossible for you to get the information out of them. It usally takes something like..um..lets say..oh..A COURT ORDER!!!!\n\nSo, in not so many words. Yes, under extremely unlikely circumstances, it is theoretically possible to track down the recipients. For the most part, however, most poeople either just live not knowing who else got the same message, or simply call and ask the person who sent it to them.

Publisher writes terrible, terrible HTML code - just awful non-standard stuff. Some email clients with their own renderer, such as Eudora, probably would have a hard time reading that HTML and showing it in a way you would expect. \n\nI think you would be better off, if you have to send a precisely formatted Publisher document, to export it to PostScript, and then use Adobe Acrobat or GhostScript to turn it into a PDF file.\n\nYou can get GhostScript and GSView at http://cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ - GSView is the tool that can make PostScript output from Publisher into a PDF file. Follow its help instructions.\n\nThe next version of Microsoft Publisher will be able to make PDF files directly.

It will depend on what is being emailed. If it is streaming audio then it is unlikely that you will get this on to a CD (without an expert to help you). \n\nIf the email contains tracks (attached mp3s) then simply save them to your hard drive, import them into iTunes/Media Player, and Burn

You need to look at the "file extension" of the file you are trying to download (the last 3 or so characters after the "dot") and then install a "helper program" that can process it.\n\nExample: If the file ends in ".doc" you will need MS Word... or for ".xls" you will need MS Excel, etc.\n\nIn many cases, you can install  a "viewer" application that will give limited access to view (but not edit) the downloaded item.\n\nExample: Adobe provides a free ".pdf" reader that will let you view (only) PDF files, but you will need to purchase Acrobat to create/edit these files.\n\nAlso, Microsoft provides FREE viewers for most Office programs (like Word, XL, and Powerpoint) at their website as well.

You need to buy the full version to create pdfs but why on earh would you want them? They are cumbersome and large files, they are no longer editable when done, I.E. they become image files....they are absolutley worthless and take too much time to transfer or send! The only possible reason to convert them is to make it hard to edit them and you can do that easily enuff by scanning them and saving as jpegs!

Depends...you are probably limited to a certain file size by your I.S.P. You may be trying to send attachements that are too large.

You can't be totally legal if you give away copyrighted matrial without the consent of the copyright holder. eBooks are still copyrighted the same as real books.\n\nTorrent.com doesn't have those files on their site, they only provide a way for other users to say "hey I have these files, do you want them?" it is the file holders and the file receivers that are trading copyrighted materials.

Thats a outlook "feature" that extracts potientially dangerous attachement files like *.exe; *.com, *.bat, *.vbs, and so on.\n\nThere are ways to circumvent that:\n- Either you turn that option (security)\n- Or you just zip the files before you send them.\n\nGo for option 2!

Once your book is written you just Print to Acrobat Distiller (assuming you have purchased this software) and it is done.  I think you can search the web to for a service that will convert your file to PDF so you don't have to buy the software yourself.\n\nIf you need further help, you can contact me.  This kind of stuff is the kind of thing I do in my freelance business.  Peace!
