phplist
phplist is a mailing list and newsletter manager that allows posting via a Web page. It works well when used for announcements, and can handle very large email address lists. Users can sign up to multiple lists, but will only receive a single copy of cross-posted messages. When signing up, users can identify their geographical location, and messages can be targetted to these. You can add place holders in your email that will be replaced with personal details (such as the person's name). Users can update their own information, and unlike many other mailing list systems, they can change their email address. HTML emails are supported.

Recent commentsGood stuff
This is good! I've just installed it on our band website and it beats the socks off the previous mailing list software I had (newspro). I'm fairly new to the whole PHP lark, but I got it installed with very little trouble - the only problems I had were with multiple passwords and usernames for the databases, directories and access - due to my memory rather than the program! The only thing I'd say initially is that it's tricky to customize the public pages. I want to keep the images and links provided, but I'd like to change the style and colours to fit in with the rest of our site... but I'm still fiddling with this at the moment.
In general, so far it's excellent!
Cheers!

Powerful script
An industrial strength newsletter manager with multiple subscription pages , templates and email formats. Requires some effort to understand all the functionality but definitely worth it. Developer is committed and responsive. A great product!
Great Script!
Its the best program of its kind out there. I use it on two sites with users in the multiple thousands. I am about to install it on a third site. It took me a little while to get to know the script, but now I couldn't imagine using anything else.
Thanks to Michael for putting in the time and hard work to make such a useful and powerful program!

I'm very happy with my PHPlist product!
I've never posted a comment about any of the software I
use, most of which are open-source products. But I want to
thank the developer for PHPlist and tell others to check it
out. It's easy to use and install/upgrade and with the new
click-through features, it's even more powerful. I've used
other newsletter products such as Constant Contact and
IntelliContact and PHPlist is far better in my opinion. I've not
had the high bouncing problems that I had with Constant
Contact or IntelliContact. Thank you for a fine product!
Excellent Work
phpList has been a best of breed eNewsletter application for years. It is an excellent OpenSource tool that continues to evolve and adapt to the needs of its users. The adoption of phpList in applications like Drupal (http://www.drupal.org)/CivicSpace (http://www.civicspacelabs.org) indicates how much this type of tool is needed by the community. The strength of this application isn't just in its ability to send thousands of emails to your supporters, but also to give them the flexibility in how those users want to receive those newsletters. Being able to send personalized text, html email messages or both to interested parties isn't easy, particularly if you want users to be able to view it in a wide assortment of email cleints.
Keep up the good work Michiel!
