* This is the modus mailing list *

Okay here goes ...



Here's the database format.

1) Database format ...

For the database, you need two fields at a minimum: a membername field (ie:
Email of the member) and a fullname field  Ex:

table: aList
mAddress, type text/varchar
mFullname, type text/varchar

You create a system DSN that points to the DB containing the aList table.

Populate it with a couple of test members.

aList
mAddress                mFullname
[EMAIL PROTECTED]    Yves Lacombe
[EMAIL PROTECTED]       John Troher

Once you've populated the list with a couple of test members ...

You go into ModusConsole, lists, create your new list as a database mailing
list, in "Database Config", you put in the system DSN, the DSN
username/password if applicable, and you define your select statement.  With
the above example:

SELECT mAddress,mFullname FROM aList

Click on Apply and go to members, you should see the members pop up.

You should index the mAddress field.
