Blacklaser 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2006 I'm working with a student organisation and we're looking forward to send out a monthly newsletter to over 500 poeple and so far we've been using gmail for our mailing list, but I wonder if there is a better way to have a newsletter mailing list where poeple can sign up/sign out more easily without someone having to add or remove them manually.Any suggestions? Any help is greatlyt appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rvalkass 5 Report post Posted August 28, 2006 There are various PHP scripts out there that can be used to manage newsletters, including people being able to add and remove themselves easily. However, they put considerable load on the server and if you intend to host it here at Xisto, you might want to look into one that delays sending each message (e.g. there is a 10 second gap between each one) which helps to lower the load somewhat. People have caused problems with these scripts before, however, so you need to be careful, and not send a newsletter out every day or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
