Thanks for the input. With bulletins, the
expiration date/time is that part that doesn’t really fit into
this use case. The admin would either have to always login
& set an arbitrary expiration (long enough so that all
users login in time to see it, but short enough so that a new
user a year later doesn’t get flooded with old messages that
don’t apply anymore) or leave the expiration off and go back
and remove Existing Bulletins. Both of which are still a
manual process for the end-user/administrator.
The desired functionality would be to send
an email to something like
allusers@domain.com
and have it deliver an email to all the current users at that
point in time.
Then 3 months down the road, users have
been added/removed, etc… so at that time emails sent to
allusers@domain.com
would go to the current updated group of users.
I know it’s possible to setup
domain-specific Authent address books by creating a Surgeweb
shared address book with Read: “*”, Write: “READ ONLY” &
Type: “Authent”. In Surgeweb, you have to manually check all
the boxes under this Authent address book to send an email to
all users. Is there a way to set an email address like
allusers@domain.com
to send an email to all the users listed in this Authent
database?
Just trying to remove all the manual pieces
for the end-user if possible.
Thanks!
Brad
Check out the bulletin feature. That
should do what you want.
Is there a way to setup a mailing list
(dlist) so that it will always contain all active users?
As accounts get removed/deactivated, can a list be set to
always stay current for a particular domain?
Thanks,
