Looking for a database-driven email "contact manager" application

[Al Dykes]

I'm going to be collecting lots (a few thousand) email addys. Each of
these people will be interested in recieving mail on one or more
topics, with an open ended and growing number of topics. Mailman with
a BD application behing it might be ideal as it would let users add
and delete themselves and each topic would have it's own email list
name identity.

Any suggestions for a PHP/mysql application to do this?>

Thanks

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

Honestly, I have never tried it myself, but I have heard good things
about PHPList (http://www.phplist.com). Their page has a list of other
similar applications as well.

You could also try searching http://php.resourceindex.com,
http://www.freshmeat.net, and http://www.sourceforge.net)

Thanks. phpresource.net is new to me. I find it's
impossible to search any of these sites for mail applications
becuase "mail" occurs in to d**n many places in the text.

Why not just use Mailman?

It's probably not 100% on-target for what you want to do (not to mention
being overkill, perhaps), but I use Drupal to do exactly what you're
describing, using the Subscriptions add-on module.

Basically, people sign up, read and post to topical forums (web based)
but then also have the option to "subscribe" to any forum (or specific
thread, even) and have new posts to that area emailed to them. Anyway,
thought you might want to peek at it.
