I want to set up an email address on my Exchange box, so that people can email
it with news articles. It will then join all the articles into one email, and
send it out each day to a group of recipients. Alternatively, I can do this
with Outlook if that's possible.

Anyone know how to do this? Or, is there something really simple I can install
on a Windows or Linux box that will do the same job? I looked at Majordomo but
I don't think this does quite what I'm after and looks like real overkill.

I've got Exchange 2003/Outlook 2003.

I don't know of any digesting software for Exchange and I ust don't see how
Outlook could do it, unless you could write code for it.

Personally, I'd just create a Yahoo! group and perform a digest subscribe of
the recipients. Why not use something that already exists? Not only is it
fairly quick and easy, but you don't have to allow for any resources like
disk space.

That's a shame. I anticipated a way of picking up the email, storing it in a
folder, then running a macro once a day to merge them, send them, and delete
them.

I can't do this because the contents of the emails will be sensitive and
confidential information that can't leave the building. Regardless of how
secure Yahoo or whoever claim to be, I can't put this info through a third
party.

I'd go with a mailing list server in your office then. I'm sure there are
more than enough open source ones out there. You mentioned MajorDomo
earlier.

I did. I've been looking at it (and Mailman) but they're really overkill for
such a small and simple task. I'm also having issues with Exchange forwarding
on email to Mailman locally rather than trying to send emails out onto the
internet (and them failing, of course), but that's a problem for another
newsgroup...

I'm just amazed that something that seems so easy and obvious just isn't
catered for in an easy and obvious way. I'm almost tempted to write something
to do it myself!
