Dale, I get dozens of article submissions a day - a lot of them for
ezines I no longer publish. The only ones I have responded to for
at least a couple of years are those that (a) have taken the time to
look at the website for the ezine (b) have sent a personal email 
asking if I were interested in seeing some articles and gave me
an idea of what subjects they have written about or would be
interested in writing about.

It's a common sales approach -- you want to do something where
the person on the receiving end is going to say yes - and make
that yes as easy as possible - and to also open up the lines
of communication. FWIW, I've had personal communications with at
least 9 out of 10 authors I've published before I published
one word they wrote. Simply sending your articles - even if
they are highly targeted - only warrants further communication
if the publisher actually wants to run it.
