Forum .LRN Q&A: Response to spam mail in dotLRN class gives the following error

You wre right, it is missing a define arg for bulk mail new. But it was more than that, apparent the function had a few problems with data types so I had to do some type casting with local vars.

The modified statements from bulk-mail-package-create.sql are found below Please see if I did it right.

Now spam.tcl works but when it reaches spam-2 it redirects to the community/control-panel and returns a page not found. I checked my installation and I can't find bulk mail or bullk mail applet or portlest anywhere. It is however, installed in the apm. Am not sure if this is a bug or a messed up installation. Will keep you posted but if you have an idea why please do comment. Thanks.
