Re: [PHP] Mailings Lists?
Contact your ISP, because it depends on your set-up... you basicaly need to pipe all emails to that address to the CGI version of PHP, and then you can grab the message and forward it to the entire list. But your ISP may also have other tools for this... if I send to all@ one of my domains, it forwards to a pre-determined list of site contributors (a mailing list/group)... this is a simple text file that I can edit too. So, best advice is to start by telling your ISP what you want to achieve, and asking what they have available, or if it's your own server, post the set-up.

Re: [PHP] Mailings Lists?
Can I just grab the required info from phpinfo() and post it here?

Re: [PHP] Mailings Lists?
No, it's not an issue of what PHP can do, it's an issue about the actual server, what mail programs they're running, what sort of filtering you can do on mail, whether you have a CGI version of PHP running, and the fact that they already may have a solution on the server which doesn't require any programming at all. At the risk of repeating myself, talk to your ISP, and tell them what you want to achieve... chances are, they've already got it all sorted out for another client.
