[Webdev] Mail group from Unix server

[Kevin Donnelly]

Hi!

We have an email that has to go out to a group of people who responded to a 
free offer on a client's website, telling them when they can expect delivery. 
 Their details, including email address, are in a MySQL database onsite.  
What is the best way of "automating" this so that a short message text can be 
associated with each address and sent out from the server?  Our best option 
at the minute is to download the dumped data, import it into OE, and send 
from there, but there must be a more elegant way than that where Sendmail is 
involved!

Thanks

Kevin
