hi guys,


i have a simple question, what is the proper channel through which i can send newsletter to all my subscribers. Suppose i want to send it every fortnight.. so there should be a trigger or event generated which automatically mails to the list or so.. how we do that .. am i suppose to do it through MYSQL or any third party software..

guys i seriously resist using ready made classes or extension, please tell me if there is some other way out

thanks and cheers !!

Hi.

If you only want to send the newsletter every two weeks (that is a fortnight right?) then you may as well just create an online mailing system that you trigger yourself through some sort of UI. Doesn't need to be complicated.

If, however, you want this to be automated, you could set up a cron job, assuming you are running on Linux and you have the sort of access required to set that up.
Then you could create a script to do this for you.

I personally would go with the first suggestion. It isn't a great deal of work to open a browser every two weeks, log in and press a "Send" button.

allright, that means i can simply use outlook express to make a HTML mail and send the stuff.. to a list.. cause if we need to send a mail, then we have to trigger it somehow..

well i would stick to ur first suggestions.. thanks a bunch man :)

Hello, We are looking for a Newsletter Program that is tested and is knowing to work with PHP/MySQL. We will be having allot of people use this newsletter so it should be able to handle sending lots of emails. Also we would need to be able to send the newsletters in HTML format. Free or paid programs are not an issue, just as long as the program works. Thanks,
