No, he means a program that maintains a list of subscribers and is able to deliver efficiently invidividual messages to all of them at once. I don't know any good mailing list programs for Windows, but if you can use a Unix/Linux machine you may want to use qmail/ezmlm combination, it is used by Yahoo eGroups because it is very good for highly scalable mailing list servers. http://www.ezmlm.org/ http://www.qmail.org/ > would the mail server of IIS handle this? I am afraid not. Not because of IIS but because under Windows with PHP you would have to relay on a SMTP server and SMTP is not very good for handling messages with a large number of recipients. Injecting directly the messages in the local mail queue with programs like sendmail and qmail is much faster, but I'm afraid those programs are only available for Unix/Linux like systems.
