Changing web hosts just to send two newsletters a year is a bit drastic don't you think? The last time I did this I created my own HTML letter and used some free program that sends them out in batches using my own emal account. I used the UBB member functions to pull a list of emails which I pasted into the program and let it rip. It worked but I don't want to risk breaking an rules with my host. That just requires knowing them and staying within the boundaries. I looked into Constant Contact but it looks like they want you to sign up with them monthly. I would prefer a "one shot" deal a couple of times/year. I'll keep looking...
