Hi, folks.
So, I'm writing a tool to send email reminders to a dynamic list of
recipients (employees in this case).
In a word "Mailman"
Thanks very much for your reply; I should have been more clear.
Ordinarily, I'd agree, but the "dynamic" part of this is the important
part. Each week, that week's employees get an email reminding them of
their own hours for the week, meaning that a) the list of recipients is
different each week, and b) the emails are unique to each person. I
typically use HTML::Template for this sort of thing (along with the
afore-mentioned Mail::Sendmail), but while I was looking into this I
found MIME::Lite::TT, which obviously uses TT, and I'm not opposed to that.
If Mailman or majordomo or another dedicated mailing list manager can be
configured to send a templated email to an ad-hoc list (which may very
well be possible, but I don't know how), then I would certainly be very
happy to trust the actual mail delivery to them.
Perhaps a better question would now be "I've come across this MIME::Lite
module that seems to use Net::SMTP when using a nonlocal smtp server.
Can this duo be trusted not to bork the server when sending out a few
thousand emails in rapid succession?"
Cheers.
