Hi

I have a list of about 200 entities to whom i need to send regular newsletter (emails). I want to ideally have a newsletter interface wherein i feed all the ids and on the press of the submit button my email goes to each of those ids....i want this to be customizable which means that i need to be able to address each of the emails marked to a different person.....eg
xyz - email id - xyz@abc.com - adressed to m, n and r

how can this be done..i don't have a database as such...only id's ....will i have to feed in the id's so that i can send an email to all of them at regular intervals of time?

please help ..i am new to scripting so i need the easiest way to do this!

thanks

Did you poke around at hotscripts.com? They are a good place to start and have everything well organized by type (PHP,JavaScript etc). PHP is my favorite. Some are way harder to use than others. I download and then look at the documentation for clarity and signs that some limited support is available. I also like current code such as PHP4 instead of PHP3. It takes some shopping time:)

So I just wrote a Perl script for you that would personalize the message to each recipient, but now that I'm reading over your request again I see that's not what you asked for, and I don't really understand what you're trying to do. When you say:

i need to be able to address each of the emails marked to a different person.....eg
xyz - email id - xyz@abc.com - adressed to m, n and r

I have no idea what you mean by that.
