When you create a list server it's best to accept the mail and then do the
actual sending in a background process (scheduled). The process is
something like:
Option 1
- mail is received for list
- verify that sender is a list member, if not then send rejection mail
- store mail and set up a db record for later processing
- send notification to sender that the mail has been scheduled for delivery
- use inFusion Scheduler to send the mail
You will need to loop over the cfx tag here if you need personal
customization - otherwise, I would just use the query parameters in the cfx
tag.
Option 2
There is also another way to do this - using an SQL trigger instead of the
scheduler. When you save the mail you also write a db record. The
insertion of the record fires off an SQL stored procedure that uses the
iMSMail COM object to send the mail.
I currently set up a server that uses option 1 but I know of another client
that uses option 2. Personally, I think that option 2 is the way to go.
