RE: SV: Witango-Talk: Talklist

[Peter Dobbs]

We use easymail objects. http://www.quiksoft.com/objects/   It is an inexpensive COM that is really reliable and easy to integrate with.   We generate the emails dynamically in Witango and push them to the object.   Just don't create the object in local scope over and over again or you will crash the server.   We send over 100,000 emails a day to our client base through this. You will need to have a reliable mail server set up to handle the relay, for this we use kerio http://www.kerio.com/kms_home.html - http://www.kerio.com/kms_price.html for prices.   p.       From: Bengt Bredin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2005 5:06 AM To: witango-talk@witango.com Subject: SV: SV: Witango-Talk: Talklist   Thanks for all your input on this. What I really want is a talklist for our internal company. Maybe 20-50 email per day from our own developers around Scandinavia. The emails has to be stored in a db so it can be searched for later. I have looked at a couple of listservers and they seem to be very good mailservers but hasn’t any or small possibilities for searching. The definition of listserver doesn’t by default include search possibility as I see it. A small talklist application inside every company is a great thing to have for exchanging info and experiences automatically and it has to be searchable. Maybe Witango isn’t the tool but together with a listserver maybe?      /Bengt   Från: Ben Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 19 november 2005 00:19 Till: witango-talk@witango.com Ämne: RE: SV: Witango-Talk: Talklist   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 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 2:32 PM To: witango-talk@witango.com Subject: Re: SV: Witango-Talk: Talklist     ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
