RE: SV: Witango-Talk: Talklist

Ok, Ok, I’ll chime in ;-)   For one thing, I agree with John, Witango is not a mail server. And with the volume of emails on a list server and the fact that you have to manage retries and failed emails and spam, there are other mail server packages that can be used to augment this.   For instance I use MDaemon Pro and it has great list server capabilities (for Windows). MDaemon allows list of any number of users that don’t tie to the license count. So for instance you could by the 6 user pro and have a list server of 1000 members. One cool thing is that MDaemon’s list server allows you to run the members off an ODBC connection so you can admin the users via Witango and Let the Mail server handle emails.   There are probably other solutions, I am biased though.   As for using Witango, you have a problem because it is not a SMTP server it can only interact with one via the @EMAIL and @EMAILSESSION tags.   Ok here is an example: You have an email account on a mail server that is used to receive the emails for the list You use @EMAILSESSION and @EMAIL Tags to retrieve the email But here is the kicker, you have to use Witango to create 1000 copies of the email and send them to the mail server.   Here is also another fun thing about emails… Attachments!!!   I’m sorry to say it but I like John feel that Witango is the wrong tool for this   Ben Johansen   From: Alan Wolfe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 2:32 PM To: witango-talk@witango.com Subject: Re: SV: Witango-Talk: Talklist     ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
