Sending hundreds of eMails

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Dan,

Obviously, you don't want to use Gmail. You'd be marked as a spammer and you'd be out of business soon.

Tell your customer to get a decent web server and his own domain. Use some PHP scripts to which LiveCode can connect. Put the e-mail on the server, so you won't need to send it each time you send a customised e-mail. Send that e-mail address, recipient name and other data to the server, have the PHP script glue the data and message together and use PHP's sendmail() function to send the e-mail.

I do this a few times every year. If you want, I can help you with it. Assuming it it a commercial project, I won't do it for free but I think it doesn't need to cost much.

Formatting the eMail is easy... but how do you send an eMail from within LC?  revMail brings up their eMail client which is not what we want because (a) they would have to click "Send" a zillion times, and (b) they are using gMail (a browser based mail client).
