Scheduling in James

[me...@mlc.com.au]

Hi all,

I'm looking to send out a series of template-based emails on certian set
dates.

Is there some sort of scheduler that I can use to prod a certain mailet
awake to check the database, and send the email out  on that date?

On the other hand is there some way I can use cron to do the same thing?

Much appreciated.

Melroy

I had a similar question a couple of weeks ago.

James doesn't have any services like this. But you may be able to use 
cron (for scheduling) and mail on a unix system.  If mail doesn't work 
on your system. (Mail works with sendmail and is not setup on my server) 
then you may want to try SendEmail. It is a some perl script that works 
from the command line or a script. It is available at:

http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/

Hope that is a good solution for you,
Clive

Send mail to a special address.  I have something similar that I run here.
