However, the writetothem terms seem to specifically exclude the

That is because we believe doing so harms your campaign, as explained at
http://www.writetothem.com/about-guidelines and
http://www.writetothem.com/about-qa#formletters - but I'm sure you've
already seen that.
Robin Houston wrote a wrapper around WriteToThem for a specific
campaign (the 10:10 Lighter Later one) which can be found at
https://github.com/robinhouston/write-to-mp
I'll take a look. Thanks!
It is a good example of suggesting wording without providing a
pre-written message. You can see it in action by entering a postcode at
http://www.lighterlater.org/mp/write
The request was sent by another member of the team - but it's
probably not polite to post her name on this list without her
knowledge. The campaign is regarding HS2 (High Speed 2).
Ah, found it now. Do let us know if it looks like it will be getting
high levels of usage, thanks.
You need to learn more about the difference between the headers of an
email (From, Reply-To, etc.) and the SMTP envelope, which do not have
to be the same, for starters.
So it seems. Can you point me at a decent resource?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounce_address has the very basics, and
you'll want to read about
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_envelope_return_path etc. Sending
email is, I'm afraid, a complex business to do correctly. For example,
how will you deal with bounces to the addresses you are sending - what
if an MP's mailbox is full? Or is temporarily unavailable at the time
you send your mail - are you using/ sending to a service that will try
again? Same goes for your confirmation emails - what if the recipient
has implemented greylisting? Obviously, WriteToThem hopefully handles
all this :)
ATB,
