Hi Folks,
You may want to use Majordomo in conjunction with TLB by Jason Tibbitts;
you can get it at:
ftp://ftp.hpc.uh.edu/pub/tlb/tlb-0.11a.tgz
or
ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/majordomo-contrib/tlb-0.11a.tgz
Here is an excerpt from its README file:
________________________________________________________________________
What is TLB?
TLB is a program which accepts a message and sends it to a list of
addresses, using multiple SMTP transactions to do so. The idea is to
allow multiple deliveries in parallel. It is in some ways similar to the
program bulk_mailer by Keith Moore and was indeed inspired by it, but were
bulk_mailer simply calls Sendmail multiple times, TLB can open SMTP
connections to any host (or any program) which allows it and have that
host manage the final delivery of the message.
TLB allows flexibility in which and how many addresses are sent in each
SMTP transaction. Addresses are split into distinct lists according to
regular expressions. These lists are then sorted so that like domains
cluster together, and finally the lists are split into batches of
configurable sizes and properties. These batches are then distributed
evenly among lists of hosts which will manage final delivery. This system
allows for remote exploders for overseas addresses and other useful
configurations.
TLB can also pipe the message to a list of local programs. The Majordomo
list manager (and perhaps others; I've no familiarity with them) generally
performs functions like archiving and digestification through programs
that are included along with the list of addresses in the outgoing alias.
Since TLB replaces the list of addresses, it makes sense to also allow it
to replace the other programs. This allows the complete elimination of
the normal outgoing aliases associated with a list (and thus the complete
elimination of the security headaches normally associated with the
presence of outgoing aliases).
