knystrom18 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Ok, I know mailing lists are usually accomplished using PHP, and I know that I could make my own with the PHP mail() function, I just don't want it to get jacked and have some hacker send spam to everyone who gets that email.With that being said, is anyone familiar with 1and1's Mailing List tool (host my client is using) or does anyone have suggestions as to some easy/good mailing list software?Thanks,- K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I'd suggest using Zend_Mail to send properly escaped messages. You can store the actual emails and everything in a DB, and just use this to construct the messages according to the DB data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceans Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have to check out Zend mail but another option is phplist http://www.phplist.com/ I have been testing this and it looks promising. It is very popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boen_robot Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Zend_Mail is a way to create your own mailing list software that is to be tightly integrated with your app. phplist is a separate app for doing this (think phpMyAdmin vs. having your own admin panel). Neither is better, but they're different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Note that many hosts are adverse to their clients mass-mailing lots of people at once, so make sure to talk with them too first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knystrom18 Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Yea, 1&1 only allows 1000 per day with the package that is being used. I don't think this list will ever get that many subscribers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
