Hello,

I hope this is an appropriate spot for this -- I'm looking for a host for a design client. What I need is an NT host that supports Access and mailing lists. Of the NT hosts I've checked out, most don't offer mailing lists, and if they do they're limited to a few hundred users. I'm looking for something that supports around 10K users (I don't think he'll get that many, but he does).

I'm not looking for a $5 a month host -- I've tried that route for other projects with terrible results.

Thanks,

-Mark

I looked at Bcentral, and may go with that, but I'm looking for an all-in-one deal to make things a bit easier.

Thanks again.

hello,

markt, can you list out all the features you need in the mailing list..
Currently, I would be needing one myself. So I have decided to write it myself.

The features I would having in the script are as follows:

Unlimited Users
Plain Text Mailing List (for html you have to wait few weeks)
user subscribe and unsubscribe feature
ability to send out the name like

Hello $yourname
with also a feature that you see
To: you@you.com

anymore features that you may like ?

Thanks,

That would basically be what I need. He's going to be running a nonprofit site that takes donations of unwanted "stuff" from businesses (desks, chairs, old computers, whatever) and gives them to other non-profit groups throughout New England.

The plan is to let businesses post their proposed donations to an Access db via a web form. After review, he'd send it to a mailing list of non-profits.

I'd like to make this as simple as possible (hence my desire to go with one host for both services) because I'm doing this cheap (he's a friend) and I've got other stuff lined up.

Thanks,

Hello mark,

I had started writing the script. Hopefully I would end up within next week or so.

Can you wait until I am finish ?



Thanks,

markt, I have made an succesful attempt in creating the script.

The following features are in the script..

- User Subscription
- Deleting User(s) through Admin Console
- Access Database (backend)
- Sending out e-mail in Plain text


But following are the features that the script lacks.. But I would try my best to cover them in my next release.

- User Unsubscription
- HTML Format
- Username and email of user.


I am just testing the script for any possible bugs.

The script would be most probably available by tomorrow.


Thanks,

not to mention it uses CDONTS for sending e-mails.




Thanks,

Omair,

Thanks for your reply. He wants to go with something that's been around for a while.
