Mailing list module for Xoops

I've been searching the web for 4 days now and NOT finding what I need :(
Normally, you can get almost anything for Xoops!

What I need is a Mailing List module for XOOPS (2.x) where an anonymous user can add an email address Without registrating.

Does such a module exist? If yes PLEASE let me know.

Would be nice if it has a admin-section for easy management. And if possible - would be able to send news writen in a XOOPS news system (fx news1.3 witch I use or other). Or if it was possible to make that part optional. So you chose what news module you use and it will adabt :)

You might ask "why don't you make such a Mailing List Module?". Well, I do not know how...


Regards to all XOOPS module makers !!

Give pp-new or evennews a go. Be aware though that these modules are not suited for handling large mailing lists, maybe 1000 users tops (depending on processing power of your server)

Thanks for the answer.
I've tried them - put for someone to join the mailinglist they had to registre themselfs. I need a mailing list where it is possible to add an email without registration. (for anonymous users). This is vital because many will not join a mailing list if they have to fill out forms an such.

And with time I think the mailing list will grow to around 10.000 users.

I use XOOPS for sale purpos. If I whent into a shop (IRL) just to look and asked for some info on something, I would be angry if a sales-person asked for my name and such.
"I just want info - not a membership!"

But I no "stand-alone mailing list" exist - I must (sadly) use PHP-list or something else.

Thanks for your time!

Regards!

I agree! This would be a nice thing to have. Maybe it should be a part of the XOOPS core. Surely the devs could whip up such a mod fairly quickly? :)

Alien,

Since you are not looking to integrate your list with the XOOPS user base, why not just use any php mailing list?

Just install it in a seperate directory, then, you can create a custom block with a link to the signup page and display it in your XOOPS site.

I know that's not what you were looking for, but maybe it will help.
