I am a member of a yacht club and we need to send emails to various
populations of members. Though I work with databases professionally, I
would like to avoid reinventing the wheel if a package already exists.
My goal would be to put the application on the Cobalt server and use
the existing MySQL database. For the creation of the email, I may use
the Browser editor ( <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://209.204.172.137/editor/">http://209.204.172.137/editor/</a> ).<br>

<pre wrap="">I'm not sure if there is built in bul emailing software, but there are
databases you can install such as MySQL, Postgres SQL or even Berkly
DB..
To write a simple script to bulk mail based on one of these database
would be pretty simple.. So it can be done.
What kind of bulk mail are you sending (hopefuly not spam)? If you
need a simple mailing list, then you could install something like
mailman and then an MTA (Sendmail for example), mailman is a mailing
list program, as a matter of fact, it is what nblug uses (I believe).

Is this true?
If so, what is the name of the program?
Is it the best to use?
