PHP Mailing List

A simple mailing list manager written in PHP.

Using PHP Mailing List you can easily set up mailing lists with unlimited number of users. Messages can be sent using the web interface and will be broadcasted by PHP Mailing List to all list members. Members can be added/removed from lists via the web interface too.

Also, PHP Mailing List offers the possibility to retrieve a list of members. Actions such as adding/removing and approving members is automatically handled by PHP Mailing List through confirmations emails. Furthermore, if an admin account email is set it will be notified of any changes made to the lists.

Spam protection is achieved through the use of a captcha widget included in the web interface. Moreover, member email addresses are shown only partially to avoid harvesting attacks.

Functionality Overview

PHP mailing list provides the following core functionality:

1. subscribe: Add members to a mailing list via form.php
2. unsubscribe: Remove subscribed members from a mailing list
3. authorize: Authorize a subscription request
4. send message: Send messages to all members of a mailing list
