how do I set up a information distribution list

2002-06-25 Thread rsequeira


Has anyone used Apache James? I have a bunch of email address that I need
to send emails, regularly. Something like a mailing list. More specifically
a one way mailing list (or information dissemination list). The email
should be customized with the person's name, etc. The person's details
could either be stored in a database (or in an excel spreadsheet). I
suppose I'd need to write an application to support the customized email.
Or maybe not if someone has better ideas. Please remember the email text
could change for every newsletter.

 I think I've a general idea (let me know if this is how it should be
   done):

An account manager uses a webpage to write up the body. And uses home-grown
   tags at certain places in the body (such as person_name, where the
   recepient's name ought to appear). This goes to the webserver which
   parses the email, queries the DB, plugs in the required info, and
   then sends out the email to the bunch of email address. Ofcourse,
   the marketing dept, or whoever writes up the emails ought to know
   the tag names.

Has anyone done this? If someone could provide some tips or point me in the
   right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

RS

Hi, I've a suggestion: to make easy for the account manager to fill the body
with right tags without remembering them, you could use in your HTML page a
textarea with some buttons that, in their onClick event manager, call a
JavaScript function that appends the tag string to the area-field value.

Thanks for the tip. I'll make a note of that. I was hoping someone had some
experience in setting up a mailing list. Will the person who setup this
list please step forward :-)

Thanks
