Causes all sorts of confusion with deliveries. Ourimbah is the last in that
backway chain of Ernest, Gerard, McPherson, then Ourimbah before it hits
Spit Rd. Everybody uses it, no one knows it.

This one is completely automated. They have a number of admins that submit
news, classifieds and announcements which form the web site content. Then
once a week a cron triggers generation of the email and sends it out. It
also archives it and adds a reference to a db.

I'm the ISP so not really an issue. We have had to jump through a few hoops
though to get it around various servers overzealous anti-spam filters. The
main problem we had was the mail action overloading the mail server and it
ignoring them. We solved it by creating text files in the correct format in
the 'incoming' folder. Works nicely.
Let me know if you need any pointers when you put it together.
