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


    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

      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.

                  Home
                  http://drupal.org
                  Drupal is an open source platform for building amazing digital experiences. It's made by a dedicated community. Anyone can use it, and it will always be free.
