Oh. I use the shell.
Try this

cat mailing_list.txt | while read DEST do metasend -b -e 7bit -t $DEST \ -s $SUBJECT "\ -F $FROM \ -m "text/plain" -f "$MESSAGE.txt" \ -n \ -S 10000000 \ -m "application/pdf;name=\"$MESSAGE.pdf\"" \ -f $MESSAGEpdf \ -D $MESSAGE.pdf sleep 5 # so as not to overload MTA done ----------------------------
Happy user for a number of year :-)
Never heard of metasend but after reading the man page I think it is what I am looking for. Could you give me a sample of a neutralised mailing_list.txt. Assume that DEST, SUBJECT FROM and MESSAGE.txt or pdf are columns in a spreadsheet. Assume that even photos can be expedited if they have been translated in base64. Nice for a family email letter ;). The files should be in the same location or?
