I have several hundred newsletter subscribers and, because my outbound mail needs to be relayed via my ISP's mail server there's a limit of 100 messages/hour per IP address.
To accommodate this limit I've partitioned the address list in chunks of 100 addresses each and done the same with the mailx scripts (which requires me to edit the subject line for each script). What I'd like is to have a wrapper script that would be fed to 'at' and 1) enter the newsletter e-mail subject line on each mailx script and 2) send subsequent chunks at hourly intervals. Cron is not appropriate because newsletters are written and distributed irregularly. A pointer to what I should read to learn how to accomplish this is what I need.
