    basic newsletter script to email clients

    Hi Folk

    I was wondering if you could recommend me any basic newsletter scripts that
    combine a MySql Database with a mail function. I would like to send out a
    newsletter for a client of mine.

    It is important that it

    a. allows HTML messaging (does anyone know a good place to find info in
    this?)

    b. does not require any server settings as I would like to do this from a
    basic hosting plan

    Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance (otherwise known as TIA)

    - Nicolaas

    Read http://www.php.net/mail and


    Also, pay attention to a page timeout, as some ipp's do not allow sending
    many emails in a short time period. I.e., my IPP allows 1000 emails per
    hour, so keep that in mind.

    Also, there are plenty of these at http://www.hotscripts.com/

      You may want to try to use this class as it supports proper HTML e-mail
      composition, it can support composition of personalized (or not)
      messages with Smarty templates, it can be optimized for bulk delivery
      and it comes with several sub-classes that can deliver in different ways
      that may fit better your hosting restrictions.

      Take a look at the bulk mail examples:

        Thank you for that. I have embarked on my own development and I will try to
        post a sample when I am finished.

        Thank you again
