You can change the definition of "curMailer" to anything you want, something
like the users which going to expire in three days.

declare curMailer INSENSITIVE cursor
for select s.email as MailBox,
m.FirstName , m.LastName
from subaccounts s, masteraccounts m
where s.CustomerID=m.CustomerID
and DatePart(dy,maExpireDate) =
DatePart(dy,GETDATE()) + 3
and DatePart(yy,maExpireDate) =
DatePart(yy,GETDATE())
and datalength(s.email)>0

>field. What about those that are constructed by Username@Domain? Many ISPs

Use a script to update the email field, because that is the fuction which
IEA wants you to use, IEA may have other use of the DOMAIN in the future. It
is the best practice to use those fields.

>work that way. This script also does nothing to limit who gets the message.

Obviously, if I do not know which customer has got their credit cards
declined, I could not program into it. But it should be pretty easy to
schedule a job in SQL 7.0 to send notice to those user which credit card
going to expire in one and half month.
