Does anyone know of any PHP scripts that will generate emails from a database of email addresses and an HTML template with bespoke content I.E greetings, unsubscribe email address links, etc... and send to an SMTP server?

I believe there may be complete solutions as you ask for Linux, but I don't know one to recommend. You may also want to build one from existing components. For composing HTML messages from templates, you may want to use this class: http://www.phpclasses.org/mimemessage You can use Smarty to compose the HTML document from a template and pass to the class above that comes with an example to do exactly that. http://smarty.php.net/ To send via SMTP, you can use the class above inc conjunction with this: http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass To handle (un)subscriptions by e-mail and also the eventual bounced messages, you can make the messages go to an e-mail address associated to a POP3 mailbox and regularly poll that mailbox with for instance a class like this: http://www.phpclasses.org/pop3class -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html
