Re: mail() limit? Use aliases table

No, I use my manual lists without a problem. If I ever have to install on a system that does not allow normal use of an alias table by a normal user, then I might try something else. But under my resellers account on AIT, I get to do whatever I want with aliases, and the lists work find =) I would not be able to install qmail on my ISP, so that is not an option either. So, my solution works great for me, I have my own administrative routines in PHP for adding aliases, writing lists, and storing the master data in mysql databases. It all works cleanly without a hitch. If it ain't broke, don't fix it ;) Cheers! lindsay On 4/8/01 2:18 PM, "Manuel Lemos" <mlemos@acm.org> wrote: > Hello Lindsay, > > On 08-Apr-01 16:14:00, you wrote: > >> If you have access to /etc/aliases, this makes your code much easier > > It works but it requires that you have root permissions and use the real > sendmail program and not another wrapped mailing system. > > For bulk mailing, like for mailing lists, qmail is better.
