Different problem. Sending a repeated static message monthly is one thing. You could probably modify the password reminder to do that. Sending a daily custom message is something else. You have a custom scheduler of what granularity ? How much scripting will it allow for custom fields ? Is your GUI person going to be able to do that ? Will he need a full GUI editor that allows the insertion of tags for dates, pulling fields from a database, running snipits of code to obtain that day's URL ? How will you check that for injection of malicious code ? That is the path of feature creep and bloat. And 0wned servers. ========================================================== Chris Candreva -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- (914) 967-7816 WestNet Internet Services of Westchester http://www.westnet.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
