Re: List Management Question
I am facing this problem myself at the moment. However, I have to
figure out a solution yet. Taking a look at the mysql backend, the
database design is a bit weak. There should be a table for subscribers,
a table for lists, and another table that maps subscribers to lists. Currently, if I need to email multiple lists, a user who has subscribed to multiple lists will receive the same message more than once. However, with a better database design, it would make this much easier.
I am willing to work on the backend database design, however, I need someone to help me with scripting, as my perl skills are not very advanced.

List Management Question 
I keep running into the following scenario and was wondering if anyone else has dealt with this yet.
Organization has multiple lists. They want to send out an email blast to all lists or select which lists to send to with one simple send instead of copying and sending a message to each list.I was handling this for one client by adding hidden user fields so they have 1 list. That way when they send, they choose who to send it to with the filters. They then have issues with manually adding new names. It's a political campaign so they get names at events that need to be added manually.
What I have thought about to handle this is to create a mapping table that identifies the lists a user belong to removing and removing the list name from the subscribers table. This would also necessitate changes to the send and subscribe functions.
First, has anyone else worked with this? Or has anyone else run into this?
Thanks in advance.
