Before I get Chipped let me assure you this is a pro bono project for a web-community site used by aid workers in the field, and the list in question is active opt-ins to this and only this non-profit service...

That said - my task is to automate the process of sending the weekly email, which at present is done by the administrator cutting and pasting fifty email addresses at a time into his email client's cc field. It's a simple job, as the emails are all on a MySQL db. BUT I've only ever done one-off emailings from scripts,a and I seem to remember hearing that Mail::Sendmail, my module of choice for these, can break at high volume. I looked at Mail::Bulkmail, which seems to do what I want, but hasn't had an update for a couple of years, which always makes me wary - is there some reason why it has languished? None of the other mail modules sounded like they did what I want, which is basically to do what Mail::Sendmail does, only reliably for large numbers. This sounds like something I'm only about the millionth person to want to do - do you have a fave module? Or am I wrong to fear Mail::Sendmail will break?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
