[Zope] email lists

2000-09-28 Thread Terry Kerr

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience with storing a large list (several
thousand) of email addresses in an object then sending an email to every
one in the list through a MailHost?  Will I need to send on email to all
these addresses (multiple recipients), or one email for each person on
the list.

I am probably going to end up doing this totally within Zope since it is
an easy solution to a problem, but am wondering whether I would be
better off trying to get all the mail address into mailman or something.

Terry.

I'm not sure how well MailHost scales, but you can certainly store
thousands of names in a ZODB-managed list.  Tests done for the
BTreeFolder product prove it.

It's up to you.  Mailman certainly has more mileage in this area.
