Re: Re: Autonomous Mass Mail List System (Broadcast Email)

I notice this is kinda getting pushed towards other directions and the reasons for keeping the direction asked for seem to have merit, so... It can be done, I'm sure, but you'll have to sit down and design it... you'll probably be better off using a package that already does such things. You've got to figure out how the script will be called, how it's going to determine what address to remove, and how it will remove the address (probably the easiest part). That's pretty broad... and probably a day or two worth of work, with chances for bugs, etc... --Toby ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Beebe" <jbeebe@op480.com> To: "Cal Evans" <cal@calevans.com>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 2001 9:34 PM Subject: [PHP] Re: [PHP-DB] Autonomous Mass Mail List System (Broadcast Email) > well, the fact of the matter, is that we will not be sending the mail from > the server, i only need something to handle bounces and discontinues when > sent to a specific email address, which resides on the server. the resources > are not available to use to send out that volume of custimized emails. > > i may go that route, just for the sake of ease, but what we really need is > much simpler in form. only needs to remove email addresses from a file. > > > > Don't reinvent the wheel.
