Developping: Mail queue runner

I would like to develop a mail queue runner that works as follows:

I want to send newsletters that contain user specific topics. For each user profile i would like to dynamicly build a newsletter and put it in a queue to submit it to a mailserver at a certain time.

Is there any OOP (with classes) project currently underway that does that funky stuff?

hi,

-- you can first build some templates and put them into some files -OR- put into database.
-- the dynamic newsletters can be created by puttings the dynamic values into the templates and put the newsletters into either files -OR- database.
* the files can bestored into some predefined path for convenience.
* we are using the files or database as queue (for storing ready to send newsletters)
submit it to a mailserver at a certain time.


-- write one more php, which will read the ready to send newsletters from either files -OR- database and send the mail.
* this php script can be invoked from crontab
* the mails can be send using mail() function.


definitely, above stuff don't contain any coding help... just the process details

regards,
