Re: [cobalt-developers] Mailing/Subscription Scripts

[Blake Webster <blake@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your message.
I have that script set up for one of my clients, but haven't had a chance
to test it yet.
The fact that you're not having any problems with RaQ is good news.
It also points out that my subscriber list may have many bad addresses.
People have been subscribing to it for about three years.
I'll commence testing.
Thanks.
Blake
