I want to send daily several different subscription mails with randomly
generated content (ie a quote of the day type list). So if I have the text
files with the varying content all made up with perl scripts. Then I have 10
different text files with batches of addresses. So anyone on the main list
can get any of the random daily mails.
Let me rephrase it:
Is it possible to use Majordomo to send out 'batches' of mails? For example
I have several versions of the daily mail and I have them broken up into a
few different files consisting of headers, footers and text body. I also
have a few txt files of email addresses to combine into a randomly generated
whole.
