I'll try out the SFU motd bits.

Not sure what "that" refers to, but in case anyone is interested:

I've been using the ticker that WIU posted in the Zimbra forums.

For quick email blasts, I currently speak LMTP to port 7025, completely bypassing a couple layers of filtering. The list is filtered to eliminate zimbraPrefMailLocalDeliveryDisabled=TRUE and a few other things.

#!/bin/sh
(printf "LHLO `hostname`\r\nMAIL FROM: <>\r\n"
 usleep 1500
 for i in `grep @carleton.edu spam-all`; do
   printf "RCPT TO:<$i>\r\n"
   usleep 1500
 done
 printf "DATA\r\n"
 usleep 1500
 cat $EMAIL
 printf "\r\n.\r\nrset\r\n"
 sleep 1
 printf "rset\r\nquit\r\n") | nc -w 30 mail.carleton.edu 7025 > $OUTFILE
RCPT=`grep -c @carleton.edu spam-all`
GOODRCPT=`grep -c '250 2.1.5 Recipient OK' $OUTFILE`
test $RCPT -eq $GOODRCPT || mail -s "some errors, etc..."
