It's easy to make a spaminator in Rev, but a good email list program should have features like list management, user authentication and unsubscribe, and bounced email management. Look at the features in the most popular mail list server, Mailman, which indeed is the software that manages the Rev lists. Most ISPs offer it for free. 'Several Hundred' recipients sounds like a lot of users to handle without those features. It looks like you're trying to do a survey. Perhaps there's a better way than simple email responses. If you have on-rev you could make a form that collects response and allows only one vote per IP. It could keep the tally in a simple text file. Not idiot proof but fine for a small group. You should be able to do the same thing using the plugin.
And yes, you could make a thing that gathers emails, but it would have to allow 1 vote per email, and write some kind of form to work inside the email. A lot more trouble, IMHO than making a simple web page. ------------------------- Stephen Barncard San Francisco http://barncard.com 2009/8/13 James Hurley <jhurley0...@sbcglobal.net> > I'm thinking of sending a query (kind of an open ended survey) via gMail to > members of my neighborhood association. > > I'm expecting a couple hundred replies.
