[cobalt-users] Mail Dump

["Matthew Augier \(dps\)" <Matthew@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy folks....

This is still a huge learning curve for me running my Raq4, but I'm getting
there. Thanks for all the help on my last problem about ASP mail :)

One of the services I need to move to this new server of mine is my reminder
service. On the whole I've got no problem with this as I have now converted
databases and sites to it. However at 01:00 everynight I need it to run an
ASP VBScript job that will query the database and produce a directory of
e-mails to send. I believe that this can be triggered as a CRON job? but how
do I get it to call the VBS file? and would this even work at all? Secondly
once this job has finished I need all the generated e-mails to be sent out.
Currently these are copied over from the dir to a mail server (imported?)
but I have very little details about this and the guys running it at the
moment are not being very helpful (one more reason to move it away from
them!).To summarise :
1) Can I run a batch VBS file that uses ASP via a cron job? if so can I have
some clues :)
2) How can I get the mail server part of the raq4 to send these e-mails?

TIA

Kind regards
