Emailing: lots of recipients + individual mails/attachments

Hi there!

What emailing solution (plugin, gem, script) can you suggest for the following situation:

- mails to a lot of people ("mass" mailing) - recipients can have 1 or more attachments (various formats) - attachments are individual files (with individual file names) - recipients get individual mails (100% individual content, not just standard text with personalized greetings)

I have found the following script, but it seems to be made for the case where: - everybody gets the exact same email - emails have no attachments

Can you help me with this?

Thanks a lot for any suggestions! Tom

I don't understand your question, are you trying to find a way to mass mail people unique messages with unique attachments?

Yes, that's exactly what I need to do!

(I have all these user_ids, message_ids, attachment_ids stored in an array...)

I would be glad if you guys could let me know what solution you can suggest for such a case - thanks a lot!

apparently ar_mailer-batch works well, but i don't know if it will do what you need it to... you might have to hack it

Thanks, it seems to handle the "mass" part in my problem.

Has anyone an idea how to handle the "individual" mail content/attachment part?
