The addresslist.db is created each time the site owner makes a selection of which member types he wants to mail to. We're using a spawn context and looping through the addresslist database [sendmail] to chucks of 300 addresses at a time. We're using [waitforfile] to pause within the loop between chunks of messages.It's no biggie not to have the delete work as /I/ expect it to, because as we create the mailing list records from the master database, we give each record a number, so with some math inside our [loop][search] and using startat, we should be able to get to everyone quite nicely without the deletes.My message was not a bug report, nor a demand for a bug fix, nor a rant, nor a whine... well OK maybe a little whining... just a WARNING to others. --joe ____________________________________________________________ Joseph D'Andrea ~ http://www.west21.com/ ~ JoeDan@West21.com WEST21.com Internet services for the 21st Century webhosting ~ co-location ~ wireless access WebCat and MGI database programming ____________________________________________________________------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
