Hi Nigel Mm, interesting idea. A list manager like Mailman would be overdoing it IMHO. What might be really el neato is generating the list of recipients automatically using data from the pupil records system. Here's a Bash script which mails 'message-text' to the recipients in 'recipient-list' with subject 'hello': cat recipient-list | while read a; do mail -s hello $a < message-text; done The recipient list is a text file of email addresses, one address per line. The file must contain UNIX line endings, MS-DOS line endings won't be understood. All you might need to do is build the recipient list, create the message text file, run the script and out goes your spam^H^H^H^H informative and useful email. Phil
