Then if they want to unsubscribe or add some addresses to the list they must be indipendent, we do not want to make their work. So, they want a ready-to-use solution, such as a web page to put all the addresses of their subscribers, send one mail to the list on our server and then our machine rat-ta-ta-ta-tat shoots them to the subscribers. I think will be difficult to find a solution. ups! regards --- Colin Campbell ha scritto: > Hi, > > On Mon, 11 Feb 2002, Fabrizio Ravazzini wrote: > > > Hello all, is there any software to build a news > > letter server that can be integrated with qmail? > > We'd like to provide this type of service for some > > firms which have a large recipient of email > addresses > > to send them news letters a couple of time a > month. > > We tried to use the ezmlm mailing list server but > is > > difficult to let our clients subscribe a big > number of > > subscribers.
