I on the contrarythink it works great and use it in exactly that way at the moment.Things to consider:Do not base your code on [Sendmail] & Emailer, it is to slow.Use a more robust mail package and delivery mechanism - I just did this onmy OSX server and the performance increase is amazing, last week I sent anemail to 4800 recipients. Writing the email in webcatalog and processing theemail with Communigate Pro took 7 minutes total .. Compare this to when Iused Sendmail and it took hours.Remember the bandwidth, my email was 46Mb of data to send and being an HTMLemail generated 170Mb within the next few hours ..
