Posted: November 22, 2008 Job title: email batching Company name: Clackmas Paper Location: United States, OR, Clackmas Pay rate: Bid Travel: 0% Terms of employment: Independent contractor (project-based) Hours: Flexible Onsite: no Description: We need to have a perl script built for us that will batch our emails in clumps of 400 and send them out for us. The problem we are dealing with is that our hosting company only allows us to send 400 emails an hour. Sometimes we have more then 400 emails that need to be sent out. My thoughts for the script is for it to run on our server so that any files that are in the directory called outgoing_emails are sent out run every hour. An example of the outgoing email file is in the format($from_email,$from_name,$to_email,$subject,$message) For an example of it: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=f344edae266c3d36d2db6fb9a8902bda 1. check once an hour to see if there are any files in the outgoing_email dir. 2. read in the lines of the oldest file. If there are more then 400 lines/emails to be sent. Send out the first 400 and then sleep until the hour changes, send out the next 400, ect 3. once a file of emails has been sent it will be moved to a new directory called emails_sent. Please ask questions if you have them. I look forward to your bid. Thank you for your time. Required skills: Perl Desired skills: Perl Contact information at: http://jobs.perl.org/job/9952#contact
