The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Kristen Chapman <address@concealed>]

Hello -

   I believe the reason Sympa doesn't currently allow for personalized 
email is a load issue, not spam.  The problem with personalized 
messages is that you can only send a single message to every single 
subscriber - whereas with a generic message, you can send one message 
to a group of addresses.

   Having said that, though - I also need to send out personalized 
content (I need to set up a unique unsubscription link in the bottom of 
the email).  I know this is a feature that is on the To Do list - but 
I'm going to see if I can tweak Sympa to do this in our installation.  
If I have any luck, I'll forward a description of what I did on to you. 
 If anyone else has already done this, please share how!  :-)

Thanks!

- Kris
