Listserv Autosend Utility v1.00 (08/21/96) - by Pete Nelson
Terminal One BBS (510) 689-9528
Author: pete@terminal-one.com
Autosend is a simple add-on for Listserv that will allow
you to send a message out to all subscribers on a mailing list.
It's best suited to be used to send out certain messages on
a regular basis, such as info on the mailing list, FAQs, etc.
The compiled code can be used with Wildcat v4.10 or higher.
Source code is included
* Setup *
Setup is very simple. First we need to create a config file
called AUTOSEND.CFG. It will contain:
Line 1: Path and filename to the subscriber file
Line 2: Text file to send to all subscribers
Line 3: Name to put in "From" field on outgoing messages
Line 4: Subject to use in outgoing messages
Line 5: Number of your Internet e-mail conference
... and it may look something like this ...
D:\WILDCAT\LISTDATA\WILDLIST.DAT
D:\WILDCAT\LISTDATA\WILDLIST.TXT

* Running *
Set Autosend up as an event or as a menu option. When it runs, it
will read the list of subscribers from the subscriber file, and send
the contents of the specified text file out to all subscribers for
that list.
You may also use different config files if you have multiple lists.
By default, Autosend uses AUTOSEND.CFG, but if you specify a
different config file, it will use those parameters instead.
* Registration/Support *
Click your heels together three times and say:
"There's nothing better than free shareware!"
Autosend is now registered. Source code is included.
