[CPS-users] A mail to all with an account on the site

[POLCHER Jan]

hello,

We have just upgraded our site to CPS 3.4 and I am seeing a lot of 
progress. That is always nice, but not granted, when you do an upgrade !

There is something which never worked for me before and does not work
either on 3.4. This is the simple task of sending an e-mail notification
to all those who have an account on the CPS site.

This is a rather useful feature to announce upgrades, maintenance or 
important news for the project.

Before you could go to your document and "send a mail notification" to
all. There were problems with the SMTP servers who did not like e-mails
with more than 50 addressees. Now under 3.4 you can not send a mail
notification to the readers of a document anymore. The addressees have to be
members in the directory ... that is at least what I noted.

So is there a way to send a mail to all from within CPS or do I have to
extract all e-mails from CPS first and then do it with a simple mailer ?  
If it is the second option how can I simply extract the list of e-mails ?

Sorry for the long question but it seems such a trivial task to me and I 
can not see why I can not do it !

	Best regards

		Jan
