"This is an easy question because it's all I want. Do you have the capability to "generate" a mortgage newsletter, "provide" the information so I don't have to, and "execute" an email campaign? Other than this I wouldn't be interested in anything else. I've talked to many people who say "sure" but you've got provide the weekly mortgage information. I am too busy to do this."

"Multi-Regional Multiple Listing Service (MRMLS) is looking for a one time relay of a batch of emails. The batch is approximately 15,000 emails, many with more than one recipient, and would be a onetime send. Part of the services MRMLS provides our Realtor members is sending an email to the clients of our membership, folks looking to purchase a home. The email contains a link to homes that meet the criteria of the interested client. We also have opt-in functionality and opt out links in the email. Normally we send all such emails through our servers, however we recently had three new real estate associations join our membership and with them comes a large number of initial emails.Our systems will allow us to redirect our mailer service to any servers to relay the email to the intended recipients. We are interested in obtaining quotes for this one time service. Please feel free to email or call me with any questions."
