We stopped when that stopped being maintainable. We spent some time looking at databases, testing databases, etc., with an eye towards establishing a system that can handle our current customer load. We hope to be able to return to individual notifications soon. For anyone who wants a look at what we've been doing over the last year or two, our newsletters are available by anonymous ftp to vaxeline.ftp.com, in the directory pub/newslet.
