I've been asked to upgrade the mailing portion of the companies e-deals web site. The current method of sending mail is primitive at best and requires a lot of maintenance to keep bounces to a minimum. I am impressed with mailman and its ability to manage most of these functions.
What I need to be able to do is to send mail to all customers, those customers who sign up for a particular store and to send email to customers on (or near) their birthday. Obviously, I would need to extend the data tables to contain those pieces of information (store ID and birth date). >From reading the FAQs and the Mailman web site I believe the best approach would be to create a mailing list for each store and an umbrella list which covers all stores. I probably could support the birth date requirement by creating a 3 tier list: birth date; store (umbrella of jan-dec birth date lists); global (Umbrella of store lists). My preference would be to create a single list and to perform some sort of query when the mail is sent to create a dynamic sub list (by store, by birth date, by store & birth date, etc.) of members. Has anyone done or seen a modification to do this?
