Hi All

We have a small 3 page website for a local Residents Association and using
the following line we can Email a single person however we have a Residents
Association Group Folder with over 50 email addresses of Local Councillors
who we would want to send the same email to them all in the list is it
possible. the folling line of code covers the individual person how would I
change it to email the group.

<a href="mailto:borough-council@**********.gov.uk"><Center>Complain to
ABCD</Center></a>
 
Can you set up a distribution list on your mail server? If so you'd create
the list (ex: (e-mail address removed) ) add all the emails to it and then just
send the email to the group email address.
 
Thank you for the fast response -- however it looks like our little group is
snookered

Do not use your site for mass/bulk e-mailing. The SMTP Filter System will
prevent this, and all attempts are logged. Attempting to bulk email will lead
to your site being closed by our abuse department.

Also there is nothing in the FAQ's about Distribution Lists

Many thanks

FP does not have a distribution list.
Distribution lists are a function of the mail server, if the host makes them
available.

Hi

My reply on re-reading I suppose could intimate that in the FAQ's there was
nothing in FP about Distribution Lists -- my intention was that this applied
to my ISP as in the previous sentence.

However with a bit of jiggery pokery the following seems to work. Will find
out shortly when they receive the email I have just sent to them all.
<a href="mailto:Residents Association"><Center>Email Every
Councillor</Center></a>
 
Our Resident's Association uses a site builder by AtHomeNet:
http://www.athomenet.com/
Our own site is http://www.sca-hoa.org The eBulletin (e-mail) function is a
double opt-in by the resident. First they must sign in and update their
default user profile with their e-mail address, and then select the category
of eBulletin messages that they wish to receive. The pricing is quite
reasonable. Our community with 11,000 residents really do use the site.
Currently, there are about 1,800 subscribers and growing each month.
