CDONTSing from home computer vs antispam filters

[aa]

I work from home and would like to automate sending out newsletters to my
customers from my home computer using ASP CDONTS and Access where my
customers are stored.
I was advised however, that emails originated like that from a private
computer will be recognised as such by antispam filters and most likely will
be considered as spam.
Is this the case?

Very likely, if you try to send it from a residential internet connection.
A better shot would be to do a mail merge in Word, there's an option to send
the outputs through MAPI using your email account servers.

I know how to merge mails using Word and address Contacts in Outlook.
Is it possible to merge in Word using Access as a sourc of addresses?

Of course, just choose Access as the source. IIRC, Word help will tell you
how.

Yes, when email is the output medium, you'll be given an option at merge
time to designate a field in the data source to be used as the email address
(or fax) of the recipient(s).
