Hi, no, the problem is that this firm wants a custom news letter, they want to subscribe for example a thousand e-mail addresses at a time, then send them one news letter. 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 <sgcccdc@citec.qld.gov.au> 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.
