Please be more specific.
Do you mean sending email from a form that send mail and then writes what was sent to a database?

Yes, I've done this.
Basically you connect to the database, issue a select statement, and while not at the end of the recordset, send mail.
That's the general theory behind it. It depends on which mail server you are using, etc.
There are third party apps that do this as well. GroupMail comes to mind. I send out mail to 1200 persons at a time using GroupMail. I could do it using .asp, but for what I need, GroupMail works.

With 9000 members, you are better off getting the program I mentioned. It has other things built in it such as sending out in groups of 200 at a time so that your host won't cut your access off. It also checks for duplicates, and you can check for bad addresses before you send out the actual mail. As far as helping you code this, not for free. I do this to augment my take home pay.
BTW: Your forum is hard to see with your link colors. The light blue against that shade of purple is hard to see.
Also, I can't tell which version of the forum you are running.
