sending out personified emails from home computer

[aa]

I used to write ASP code while ago, but now it is rusty.
If I have a customers database in Access, I guess I can write an ASP code
which would send out emails to the addresses and names from the database
from my home computer.
Is it viable? Is there a resource I can refresh this particular technique?
PS. I would not use a mailing list of Outlook Express or Outlook because it
will show all the adresses in the address line while I would like an e-mail
to look personal, just to one address and indicate a particular name in Dear

Fetch the data into a recordset then loop through them, sending each one an
email using CDO.

Note: spam filters are more likely to reject emails sent from home
computers. They don't seem to like stuff originating from 127.0.0.1. Can't
think why....

Thanks, Mike
Regarding spam filters - I have a lot of occations when I talked to a
customer, he/she gave me an email-address and asked to email information and
yet it has been rejected by the filter though I sent it using Outlook.
For some uncomprehensible reason ithe filters let a message in if the text
is attached as a doc or better zip file
