handling a email thingy
I see two options..
1) Use cron job to update valias file. Then use the groups to email members of certain categories.
2) Forget the valias file, and just loop through the DB and exec the mail() function for each member in the desired category.
I'm not sure what would be best. The valias file could get quite huge to accomodate all the possible groups that could need contacted. On the other hand, using mail() in a loop doesn't seem like a good idea.
For each category, there will be 1 group for all members, and 1 group for each of the 4 different admin levels. Each member may (and most likey will) be in multiple categories. Categories may be added/removed through time, as well as members.
Thoughts?

Nevermind. System has been redesigned and I don't have this problem anymore.

You lost me there Mark.
For a minute I thought you were speaking another language. Sounded like something off Star Trek. :martian:
