OpenGMail 0.96 README The Open Source Group Mail Sender

INTRO
 OpenGMail is an open source group mail sender designed to send a large amount of
 e-mails (~10.000) integrated with external ERP, CRM or any other data sorce. It is
 not designed to be a full featured mailling list management solution, once it assumes
 an external data source will be used: your ERP or CRM solution, for example. OpenGMail
 has also features to log the actions performed by the recipients after the e-mail was
 sent and recieved, alowing the creation of new  mailling lists based on, for
 example, the users who realy opened the e-mail, the users who have clicked on one
 or another link, etc. For that, OpenGMail uses a Perl CGI interface and 
 the MySQL database to store, show and generate new mailling lists (not 
 included in this ditribution yet).

 Like any other GPL Project, OpenGMail is based on users suggestions. Acctually
 we are releasing new files once a week, what makes our user suggestions to 
 be implemented and released very fast.

 Have fun!
