This is all controlled by your code. For example:
<cfif smtpto is "[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED]
result=accept
</cfif>
if you put these four lines in your RCPT template then your server will accept mail to
that address and send the mail to the three listed addresses. Obviously, this is not
a very useful list server but it is a list server (with only 4 lines of code).
Typically, you would want to store the list addresses in a DB as well as the
recipients. So, you could do something like this pseudo code:
query lists table for smtpto variable
if record found then
{
query listmembers table for members in list
use cfx_imsmail tag to send mail to all recipients
}
You could have a basic data-driven list in a few lines of code. You would then
probably want to add a way to subscribe/unsubscribe (web or smtp-based) and other code
that would make the list more complete.
You could also consider making the list a POP account set to be a Processor account.
FusionMail supports the concept of an account that only processes incoming mail. So,
you can create a processor account called "mylist" and then have it fire off a
template to do the list processing...that's how this email list works.
