Hello All,
I am new to mailman and mailing list software. I am trying to setup a mailing list for a charity which would like to send periodic emails to the patrons. They would like to send emails but dont want the users to email each other so I am thinking of setting up a readonly list. I am not sure if mailman is able to send personalised email. I did search on this and it looks like the definition of personalised email is different to the definition I use!
When I mean personalised email I mean the content should be able to address the recipient using their own name used in the subscriber list. From what I gathered others mean personalised email as the recipient field showing the users email address and not the list email address?
I dont want to send generic emails. Is this doable? Instructions would be nice but pointers at docs are very welcome. I would prefer a polite answer and not "RTFM"
It is doable, but not with mailman, afaik. What you need is not list software, but mailmerge software. I don't know about other platforms, but if you have MacOSX there's a list of mailmerge software here. Much of it shareware, none of it free:

Many thanks in advance
