You've already had a nice answer. Look for ezmlm. It is a very powerful open source mailing manager.
You could store the data in mySQL database and administer it in your favorite way via PHP or whatever. Then, loop your PHP code and (if you need this of course) copy all the emails of users you need to send it to into a temporary table. And run ezmlm to send emails. You can do it all very automatically and maybe even in a better way that what I said. Ezmlm is the greatest, with lots of features and add-ons. Even this list uses it.

We have a client who has some customers that are signing up to win a prize in a contest. These users can also join the e-mail club. What's the best way to send many, many e-mails? I don't want to send an e-mail to each individual user (that can be tough on the server). I also don't want to just make a bunch of entries in the To: header. I don't want people to be able to see who else is on the mailing list. Could I solve that problem by putting their e-mails in the bcc section of the header? Any other ideas are appreciated...thanks, Tyler Longren -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
