Now that I have my contact management up and running, I am looking at the Xataface Mail Module to allow for bulk mailing.
As I understand it, the Mail module sends to ALL records in a given table by default. There doesn't seem to be any easy way of sending to a subset of records in a given table.
I would like to change this default behaviour. In my case, I wish to send bulk mail to only contacts in a given category; for example, only contacts living in Canada. Or only contacts that are interested in a particular product offering.
I looked at using mysql views but this would require me to create a view for each category of contacts that I wish to bulk mail to. I also find that authentication ( login) fails whenever I use views instead of real tables. Strange,
Any pointers?
TIA
