NewslettersPackage

The package Newsletters is based on phpmailer and lets you send out e-mails to your registered users or to any list of subscribers. It is a full-featured, tightly integrated newsletter system and high-performance email marketing tool for your site.

Main features:

• create as many newsletters as you want
• compose editions (e-mails ) for each newsletter
• format: HTML
• visitors or registered users can subscribe
• double opt-in (optional)
• unsubscribe-link inside the mail

Advantages

• display newsletter editions as content on your site
• mails use your site's CSS for constistent look&feel

Notes

• prior to Bitweaver version 2: After composing an edition, when you click send, the edition is only queued, but not sent. To actually send out a newsletter edition to the subscribers, you have to run the script /newsletters/admin/tend_mail_queue.php either from the command line, or accessing it from your browser.
• The strings used in e-mails might not be translated for each language (e.g. "to unsubscribe, click here"). Further reading: TranslationTutorial.
