I like the users.lst way. It keeps things local and you don't have to use
3rd party apps to mail. If you build a list, turn off subscribing and reply
ability, then use the list owner account to mail to the list. -
Now, building your list to include everyone: I use MSAccess, of all things,
to build my users.lst. Whether the Imail user database is a .mdb or a SQL
7.0, you can use access and ODBC to query all domain users, add the
"@network.com" to the end of the user name and export to a ASCII text file
called users.lst. Set it up right and you can rebuild your list with one
mouse click.
Hope this is useful information to anyone. If you need more info please
email me directly.
