[Mailman-Users] newbie question about how to mailman sends out bulk emails
hello and thanks for reading this, i am a computer volunteer for the goodwill rescue mission in newark,nj www.grmnewark.org i tried to find out via the faq and list archives but i could not find an answer to the following question. we need to be able to send out a mail list to about 5000 donors. our isp allows an unlimited number of outgoing emails but each email can have upto 50 email addresses. can i get mailman send out 100 emails with 50 users each? can i get mailman to send out 5000 emails one by one? if so, can i throttle the email per minute? also, i do not need the overhead of forcing people to 'join' the group. i want to just have some kind of flat file database with the list of people the mailing should goto. is this doable? thanks, dave -- and the geek shall inherit the earth verse 0:0 from the chronicles of yoyomeltz -- 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=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

Yes, just set SMTP_MAX_RCPTS in your mm_cfg.py to 50. can i get mailman to send out 5000 emails one by one? Sure. Set SMTP_MAX_RCPTS to 1, and/or enable full personalization. if so, can i throttle the email per minute? No, but your MTA can. However, that's not a mailman question. also, i do not need the overhead of forcing people to 'join' the group. i want to just have some kind of flat file database with the list of people the mailing should goto. is this doable? Yes, you can mass subscribe a list of members. -- - Patrick Bogen -- 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=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
