I want to send bulk e-mail to introduce my new innovative product. I want to harvest email addresses of people

Nobody reads spam emails so you will have 0 potential customers

There is only one way to tell if someone opened your email and the technical details are beyond what I can explain. You use html mail with an image in it. The URL for the image contains a distinct code for every email you send. When a request is sent back for the image the code is extracted and matched against a database of all sent mail.

Many people do not view images in email unless from a known site just for that reason. My email program will ask me every time if I want to see the images from a new source.

If you want to start an email list then start your own and offer a free newsletter and have people sign up for that.. and list that on sites that allow you do that. Like classifies using googles ad words, maybe selling something on ebay.
Harvesting email is just wrong and mean.. you mess up the honest people out there. I have never ever bought anything from a spam email that i get.. I got a new spam blocker that blocks you people before it even gets to my email box.
so try something more honest– it may take more work but it will be better in the long run.. and didn’t someone just go to jail for doing this???
that is all I have to say.

Since you sound legit, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the CAN-SPAM Act before you do anything that you mentioned
