I know which street now. Yeah, everyone drives it but I've never known
the name of that part of it.
Your email system sound good. Thanks for the offer, I'll probably take
you up on it when I'm closer to the project.
We have an SMTP server inhouse whoever we still mainly use our uplink's
(bigpuddle) SMTP server . So I think I'll use some sort of timing
mechanism to send of 100 at a time.
well, back to the grindstone...

Causes all sorts of confusion with deliveries. Ourimbah is the last in

backway chain of Ernest, Gerard, McPherson, then Ourimbah before it hits
Spit Rd. Everybody uses it, no one knows it.
I was thinking to add it as an extension to my clients sites' admin
system/content management system
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.
Sounds good in theory anyway. However my thinking is that I would
probably have to add an additional component to stagger the emailouts
so as not to alert any over zealous ISP/SMTP server. Had any problems
sending 5000 emails at a time?
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.
