[Mailman-Users] Newbie question - newletter, and importing members?

[James Radke]

Hello,

I am looking at mailman as one possible solution for providing a mailing list for up to 10,000 recipients.  This would be for a client who would like to send a newsletter as well as promotional offers to their customers.

First of all, would mailman be a good selection for this functionality?  We would need to:

1.) Create a list with members from a file provided by the client from their database (Microsoft SQL server database), or in flat file format to be imported; and then 

2.) Allow only the client to submit "mail" to the list?

Finally we would need to:

3.) Allow the recipients to "opt out" of receiving any future mailings via automated e-mail request handling?

How tough would this be to implement something like this?  Is most of this standard usage for this application?

Thanks for any and all opinions!

Jim
