there are a number of reasons why we don't want it in a db. the number one reason is because we cannot send a volume of mail of that size on our server. we use a VPS, so our server is shared resources. on a good day, when it can, we will get an email from the hosting comp with a warning on draining the server of its resources. and yes i know majordomo is perl. why are you referencing me to another list, i explicity said i don't want to go that way. so jeez, next time please don't waste your time or mine or the bandwidth of the php listserv if you don't have anything but condisending statements to make. learn a couple of lines of, lol. whoooo... like connecting to a database, and sending sql statements, and then displaying the results... sounds like you know it all buddy. snooge >so jeez, i > jeez, > > dump it all in a database. > than learn a couple of lines of php. > majordomo is perl... other discussion list. > > good luck > > # -----Mensagem original----- > # De: Jason Beebe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > # Enviada em: Wednesday, January 10, 2001 10:49 PM > # Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > # Assunto: [PHP-DB] Autonomous Mass Mail List System (Broadcast Email) > # > # > # Hey Everyone, > # > # I'm working a project for one of the company's websites. they > # have a subscription mailing list that the user signs up their > # email address to receies periodical emailings. > # > # The email addresses are stored in a flat txt file. 1 email per > # line.
