Ok. So I set things up with Php only to find out it won't work for my needs. I simply need to have way that everyone on the email list can sent an email to one address and have it circulate that email to everyone else. The people on the php list tell me this can't be done with php. They tell me to use mailman. So I need to know how to set up the mailman so that email will be sent to all 120 people. Is there some special batch process I need to tweak. I have the info from tech support regarding the amount of emails/hour etc. I just don't know if I need to do something special with mailman to set this up? Can someone help me with this? Thanks

I'll check it out. I'm on my way.

Thanks for the help. Fantastico was just what I needed. I think I am making progress. I found and downloaded php and created a list. I figured out how to import the email addresses of our team members and parents and I've been through all or most of the various control links to figure out how the php program works. Now, I have a new question. The system is set up for me to send out newsletters. This is not what we want to do with this list. I want group members to be able to use the list to send emails to everyone on the list. So, if someone sends an email to all@huronrowing.org, everyone on the list will receive the email. I don't think this is the default set up. How do I make this happen?

Ok. I understand that to send out an email to our group I need to use one of these...php or dada or Mailman or something... I would be happy to use one of them if I could figure out how to set it up. I can download the program, but where do I go from there. I need to put some code in somewhere, but I don't know where. For instance, where do I find the "cigi bin"?

Thanks for your reply. I thought this was the whole purpose of using the DADA or phplist or mailman....it circumvented problem of email/x minutes by sending them in batches or something. If you are telling me this will remain a problem if using a seconary mail program (phplist), then why would I bother even trying? Perhaps I have to break down the list and make two addresses to send out our mail...perhaps this would solve the problem...

I have been told to use dada mail, but I don't know how to set it up. I am managing a sports team website where we want an email address to send out emails to all parents and team members...about 75 people. Apparently I can't just set up the group email through Total Choice. I have to use dada or mailman or something else. So, I downloaded the Dada program as directed, but one of the first thing it wants me to do is locate the "cigi bin". I have no idea how to do this. Can someone guide me through the process of setting this email address up? It looks much more complicated than I had hoped. I just want to send the team parents and kids emails using a single email address. Seems like this shouldn't have to be so hard....kvetch kvetch I hope someone can help me with this.
