[NBLUG/talk] Looking for software...

Ok folks..  This one has had me stumped for quite awhile and I haven't
found an adequate solution.  What I'm trying to do isn't all that
complicated:

First, to make this clear, we have a list of people who have explicitly
expressed interest in receiving information about the products my
company has to offer.  Hence, this is *NOT* for sending UCE.  I just
want to make sure no one thinks I'm spamming. :)

What we're trying to do is to send a single email out to a couple
hundred customers on our mailing list.  We are looking for an email
program that will provide us with the ability to put a variable in the
message for something like the customers first name.  We want to be able
to personalize it for the customer.  In additon, it might be nice to
have the program do some sanity checks on the email message being
released, ie: check the email for any Rich Text or HTML flaws, make sure
there's a plain text portion, and possibly run it through spamassassin
first before letting it be sent.  I'd like to make this as easy for our
customers to receive and view as possible, while still managing to
satisfy my marketing manager.

Any ideas folks?
