Re: [IMail Forum] Imail1 to send email

[Raymond Dy]

Dusty,   Have you tried the Imail1.exe instead?  I am planning to write an ASP code which calls for specific users and sends them an email using the commandline syntax of Imail1.  I want to hear feedbacks if anyone has ever experienced missed emails or unsent?    And one more thing, I've tested mailall.exe to send mail to all users and experienced missed emails on my first try.  After which i tried again and all users received the mail successfully.  I am using an external database with 1000 users running on Piii-450.   Thanks again Dusty!   Raymond ----- Original Message ----- From: ## Dusty Carden To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 12, 1999 11:29 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Imail1 to send email When I want to send a message to all my users I actually use mailall. What I usually do is set it up in batch file and have it run in the wee hours of the morning.   Looks something like this.   rem [monthly.bat] rem This checks for the existence of the file if not exists d:\news\update.txt goto OOPS d: cd\imail mailall -h mail.domain.com -f news -d -s "Monthly Update" d:\news\update.txt cd\news ren update.txt sent.txt c: goto END   :OOPS rem If the file was not there this writes a nice note rem and sends it to the person responsible. echo Somebody screwed up and forgot to write the monthly update!>>d:\imail\oops.txt d: cd\imail imail1 -u "news" -t "policy" -s "You Screwed Up" -f update.txt del update.txt c:   :END   Dusty ----- Original Message ----- From: Raymond Dy To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 12, 1999 3:45 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] Imail1 to send email Hi,   I just tried using Imail1.exe to send email to Imail users.  I was wondering if I can use this to send mass emails to my users instead on the other Jmail or ASP mail stuff.  Anyone who has any idea or experience using this utility to send mass emails?  Dusty, what do you recommend?   Raymond
