Alumni E-Newsletter
FAA was wanting to have a e-newsletter. Sounds simple. Well it was a pain in the ass. For one I was not goign to write a mass e-mail system from scratch. And two, like always it was needed yesterday!
I opted to find a open source or even purchase a system. I found a really nice Coldfusion system that suits all my needs. From direct clicks, to allowing me to add custom fields as I see fit. sounds perfect huh 
Well our first letter went out and the linking to other sites did not work. I spent at least 2 hours looking for the error cursing up a storm. The problem was simple and my fault. In the install I accidenlty left of a “\”. Silly huh!
Over all this program (E-mail list manager by www.adminprotools.com ) is extremly awesome. It functions beyound my expectations and I plan to run several more tests before I mention this at the COAG IT Staff meeting. This should solve the needs that other depts and units have that would want to send html rich e-mails to their share holders or even just employees.
