For this purpose, I would say that you
could go in either direction. What you really want to do, however, is setup a
normal listserv with your email software, and send a copy of each email an
account which you read into your database using Witango. There are listserv
archiving tools out there as well. You may want to consider taking a forum
approach to this problem as well. Robert From: Bengt Bredin
[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for all your input
on this. /Bengt Från:
Ben Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok, Ok, I’ll chime in ;-) For one thing, I agree with John, Witango
is not a mail server. And with the volume of emails on a list server and the
fact that you have to manage retries and failed emails and spam, there are
other mail server packages that can be used to augment this. For instance I use MDaemon Pro and it has
great list server capabilities (for Windows). MDaemon allows list of any number
of users that don’t tie to the license count. So for instance you could
by the 6 user pro and have a list server of 1000 members. One cool thing is
that MDaemon’s list server allows you to run the members off an ODBC connection
so you can admin the users via Witango and Let the Mail server handle emails. There are probably other solutions, I am
biased though. As for using Witango, you have a problem
because it is not a SMTP server it can only interact with one via the @EMAIL
and @EMAILSESSION tags. Ok here is an example: You have an email account on a mail server
that is used to receive the emails for the list You use @EMAILSESSION and @EMAIL Tags to
retrieve the email But here is the kicker, you have to use
Witango to create 1000 copies of the email and send them to the mail server. Here is also another fun thing about
emails… Attachments!!! I’m sorry to say it but I like John
feel that Witango is the wrong tool for this Ben Johansen From: Alan Wolfe
