Yeah - problem would be support thereof... If I just did it say once every 10 minutes, I'd be guaranteed to have 1 in 1000 freaking out because of a horendous typo they just found out about, which they corrected and isn't reflected in their tests (assuming they test ;-)
I'd have to dump them all pretty often, or have to change the database to detect change time on the memo and select / dump based on that, which I guess I could do as well, just seemed like an icky work around. Figured I'd see if someone else was struggling with the same issue ;-) I wonder which would be worse - a query per mail for the small percentage of users on vacation, or a query per minute for all the users, rewriting changed vacation messages as I go ;-) Thanks for the refinement of the idea. m/ > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Gordon > Messmer > Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 2:58 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [courier-users] mailbot for virtual users?
