It's funny because I've done the same on a smaller scale and didn't think to mention it. I used ColdFusion in my case, but the theory remains. It helps that Smartermail stores it's user list in an easy to get to format.

I use SmarterMail for mailling lists with no problem. But I don't use the built in functionality. I wrote my own asp.net application that manages the maillists. It just relays the messages to Smartermail, then smartermail's queue handles them from there. I suspect you are going to have to write your own script to manage your sends.

Jaime,
So far, I've got no solution. I would install LISTSERV on my VPS, but am deterred by
1. the system footprint of LISTSERV
2. the price -- it's expensive. LISTSERV classic, and the license for support and upgrades, will set me back $3000 give or take. That's a tax writeoff at the end of the year, but, still, it's a big out of pocket expense
On the other hand I was a LISTSERV administrator for a number of years and I know it is a very good program. You can adjust almost every imaginable aspect of mailing list message delivery.
I'm still considering this. If I can round up enough clients who need mailing lists then I might take the plunge.
I will keep you posted. Thanks for your interest. Hope you're great.

Post subject: Mailing list software on WIndows VPS -- LISTSERV or Lyris? S
Hi.
I have a Windows 2003 "Pro" VPS at HMS. 2GB RAM, 100GB storage, and SmarterMail 5.5. This VPS does everything I need it to do, except for mailing lists.
Can I get your thoughts about mailing list solutions for a Windows VPS?
I have clients who need mailing list solutions. By mailing list, I mean, email discussion group. I use the mailing list application that is bundled with SmarterMail 5.5. That works, but the clients do not like it b/c, in DIGEST mode, the SmarterMail mailing list does not automatically edit replies to replies.
Meaning -- DIGEST subscribers receive, at the end of the day, a Digest that is packed with subscribers' replies to each other's replies. I don't see any way to edit this behavior -- in either the clients or the software. =)
So, I am thinking about installing Lyris or LISTSERV software. These are big installation packages and each has a large system footprint.
Has anybody else installed Lyris or LISTSERV on a windows VPS? Or any other mailing list that is more configurable than the barebone mailing list that is bundled with SmarterMail?
Thanks for any ideas.
This forum continues to be a great resource. I am grateful for it.
Eric
