Well there isn't anything wrong with the mail list approach, but it is more
complicated than sending email to a list of customers. We have several types of
services (transport, ss7, managed Noc svc etc). Having the db backend would
give us flexibility for future notifications based on type of s

Ideally the system would send an attached PDF.
Why are you sending an attachment?

Billing software that caters to smaller web hosts and ISPs like WHMCS
can send out mass mailings, and you can drill down which customers
should receive the email based on the services they have with you.

maintain lists of customer addresses, and I believe they have an API for
maintaining the list.
