Re: mailing list managers

Justin, Have a look at PostMyMail, although it's designed to work with PostNuke. Have no idea if it can run stanadalone. I also wrote a clunky one in Python - it grabbed the addresses from a database and sent each individually. Python has a very nice SMTP module. By "clunky" I mean it didn't have an interface, I edited the source for the script every time I sent a mail. No problem, as it was a "proof of concept". Mightn't there be something at Hotscripts?

Hi all, Just a quick note to see if anyone has any experience with mailing list managers. I've currently got a DB of subscribers, and basic PHP scripts are not going to be a good long-term solution. I was hoping that maybe there's an opensource or commercial product out there that I can install in my doc root (ie, PHP + MySQL support) which will handle this in a more effective manner (ie, space the mailout across an hour or so, etc etc). Or alternatively, somebody might recommend a service such as sparklist.com (but cheaper, since they're targeting a list with greater numbers @ a minimum of $50/month).
