Hello,
What is the best way to automate the update of a departmental mailing list?
Our departmental mailing addresses (300+) are in a local
web-accessible database. We have been running a script that copies
the data from a web page and pastes it into the UCLink Simple
Mailing list web page. Lately, this has become unreliable and needs
to be replaced with a different method.
I have considered scripting a majordomo list, but then we would have
to keep track of who was added and deleted in the database and
whether or not their address was sent to majordomo. This is a
possibility, but might be prone to mishap.
I have heard that it might be possible to script the batch update of
a socrates mailing list. Has anyone tried this?
Any other suggestions?
-Sara
