Using MySQL database to populate an email list
Any advice on who can help?
I manage a web site for a club. Members submit their emails to a database kept in our MySQL database. We regularly send emails to selections of members using PHP script. We have 25 different email address 'lists' generated dynamically by the PHP script according to the subject of the email being sent.
Our server just informed us we cannot do this in 60 days time. Spam reporting from other client's email on the same server is the problem. For us, one possible solution is using email lists through the email program on the server admin control panel. However I know of no way to synchronize the mailing list feature of the server Admin control panel and our MySQL database.
Any consultants I should consider to solve this problem? We cannot be the only group to have this problem.

All hosting companies have their own rules about email traffic. Depending on your needs you may look into a service such as cooler email
Many thanks for your
Many thanks for your response.
I looked into Cooler Mail and also Constant Contact. Both require a manual upload of email addresses for the emailing.
I am looking for the ability to use our database directly to populate a list. Our 'live' database contains email addresses as well as all details of each club member. It is regularly modified by individual members.
We will consider contract with someone to help solve our need. Any PDXPHP community recommendations?
