View Full Version : How do I create an email mailing list
I would like to know how to create an email mailing list on my webpage. so that I could send information to people that sigh up for newsletters
Use an input form, save the email addresses in a MySQL database using PHP, then read the database to get the email addresses and send the email using PHP.
Get the book PHP & MySQL for Dummies to get started.
Or see if you can find what you want at hotscripts.com
A premade option that's fairly easy to install would be DaDa mail:

The only problem with a mailing list of that type is that you're limited to 50 recipients per e-mail (PowWeb Restriction).

You are tlking about if you manaully do it with smtp email forwarding in OPS. You can only have 50 recipients for an email address. That is another way to do it, but then you have an open relay which is not a good thing. Anyone who knows the address can use it to spam the 50 people.

as B&T said, that would be with SMTP forwarding. Dada is a mailing list program (which you can use for notice only lists), and can send in batches as well as complete group.
