A sendmail warning

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

2005


It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 63678
interpreted = N
texte = I did a sendmail to about 5k customers. Mistake 1: The hard drive got full fast since the emails go out slower than the files are written. Mistake 2: Some of the emails were larger than expected. Need to set &max= when sending records in the email. Mistake 3: My customer database was nearly empty (from 140k registered customers to 15, not 15k, just 15). Guess this was due to mistakes 1 and 2. Hopefully yesterday's backup will restore OK. These emails need to be tailored to the customer, i.e. I can't send out one email and bcc: everyone. Does anyone have some thoughts on how to better use WebDNA for customized mass emailings? I obviously need to avoid this problem in the future.
