There are simple, inexpensive SMTP servers (e.g. http://www.softstack.com/ ) available that can be installed on any PC with Internet connectivity. They have unlimited mailing capacity, can individually head each message and be set up to do the work at night. We use SMTP Pro for everything from announcements to christmas card lists. You might want to look at Subscribe Email, at the foot of the list. OGD is different from a standard listserver in that it compiles the incoming messages (and vets them?) before dispatching a block message. I have no idea how it does this, but I seen the gnu logo from time to time, suggesting an open source solution. Automating the file that this produces into an SMTP mailer may be difficult, and I do not know anything that can do that directly. ______________________________ Oliver Sparrow +44 (0)1628 823187 www.chforum.org _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
