Re: SQL for Subscriber Lists?

John:

Thanks, but I'm not sure I understand your recommendation.

Here's an expanded description of my need: When anyone sends a message to a 
mailing list, I need Post.Office to perform a query to a database, download the 
results, and substitute the results for the list of subscribers. I'm not 
concerned with allowing people to subscribe to the lists; all the lists will be 
private and I will manage the subscribers via SQL, and none of the subscribers 
will have accounts on the server.

Does anyone know how does Post.Office stores subscriber lists? Is it a text 
file, or is it part of an internal database?

Thanks in advance,

-- Mark
