I suggest looking at this another way. Basically, you're paying $20 per month to send up to 25,000 emails. That still sounds like a good deal to me to protect your domain from being blacklisted.
The above really applies if you're sending to many different customers. If you're sending to a limited clientele, then in addition to Dropbox, you may want to check out Syncthing. https://syncthing.net/ The price is right.

Thanks Kevin - Mandrill would certainly handle the volume but their minimum of 25,000 per month is overkill. My current folder of less than 1000 represents a whole years worth of files. Going forward I expect less than 50 per month. Another approach would be to find a vendor who could receive all the files in a single zip and send them out one at a time. I'm waiting to hear from the recipient if there is a limit on how many files I can send in a day or i they have a better way to handle an entire folder at a time.

Hey Joe,
I'm hearing a Ted-ism coming along as a "It depends", but ...
- For sending massive amounts of individual emails to external email
addresses, look at a service such as Mandrill. (https://mandrill.com/) It costs money but will keep your domain from getting black-listed, keeping you from sending out emails in the future.
- For converting documents to an image, look either at ImageMagick
or HTMLToPDF.
Hope this helps. Let us know what you decide to do with your project.

This could be VFP or otherwise - not sure if there should be [NF] in the header?
I have two tasks I would like to automate:
- Send several hundred .JPG files in a local folder as email
attachments one at a time. 2. Convert an Email to an image and send it to an email address as an attachment.
Any suggestions welcome!
Thanks in advance
Joe
