Need help with storing email addresses and sending out a newsletter

Ted
Hi...

I'm setting up a website that will send out a newsletter to my website
subscribers.

What are my options for collecting/storing the email addreses and what
are my options for sending out a newsletter?

A few years ago I used what I think was called a LIST-SERV - not
sure...would that work and/or is there something better.

Any tutorials out there?

Thanks.

Depending on what you have available, the only thing I would worry about is
someone trying to break in and grab all those addresses, so if possible,
keep them on another server.

You have quite a few options. None of them are written in HTML, however,
so you might try posting your question in a more appropriate group. Not
only is it more polite, you'll get better answers.

I am looking at doing the same thing. I will be looking at redirecting
my email to extract the email address from the message and store it in
either an MSSQL database or a file. I will do this probably with PHP. I
will then probably write a script that executes every 15 minutes or so
does a search of the Database as to who is new and those that have not
recieved an email and get i to send one out.
Well that is what I am thinking at the moment. Things have been known
to change.....

The same thing as what? Please quote enough of the message you're replying
to, to give your own message some context.

Adrienne thanks for the advice...

It's not something that I was even thinking about...

Do you have an online resource or book that you can suggest on how to
do that?

Thanks...

No, not right now, as it's something I'm going to have to worry about
myself very soon. If I find anything interesting, I'll post it. One thing
you might want to Google for, however, is SQL Injection. There are tips to
prevent it.

The code below is designed to loop through rows of a database query obtaining email addresses and send an email to each. It is modified form fomr some code I found on the net. With each while loop, it updates the SENT field of the processed row to mark it sent. I have a sleep function in there to slow the processing down to see if that alleviated the following problem - it did help. What is happening is the first 20 emails it sends...

There seems to be a problem with my emailing code, although during testing it worked fine. What happens is it sends two emails instead of one, and also doesn't put any text in the email for some addresses. Its sent as plain text and as i said when i tested it to 6 email addresses it worked fine. my code is below <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>

I need to maintain a list of subscribers to an email list for a "newsletter" that will be sent via a web form probably once a month. I anticipate low numbers--tens to maybe one hundred subscribers at the most. Just curious what the best way to code this is. Should I just loop through the addresses and send one-off emails to each, or is it better to somehow send to every recipient in one shot? One thing I would like to avoid in the...

Hi all, Thanks for the suggestions for our club's initial bulkmail sending routines. I did read up on the use of ASP vs. a separate COM app such as ASPEmail, and determined that for our club's purposes the ASP code that loops through the data and sends individual messages vs. BCC performs adequately for simple messaging. The next phase is to email the club's newsletter, which is in PDF format, and I've run into the problem that CDO...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
