I need to build a mailing list (non-spam purposes). I need something:

• where people can sign up, of their own free will, to receive a monthly newsletter
• where people can cancel their subscription with a click of a button
• that won't get caught up in spam filters (the people did sign up for this)
• that uses MySQL
• that has the option of selecting only certain people to send the mail to

I plan to do all the coding myself (In PHP), however, I don't really know where to start. General comments are extremely welcome.


Thanks for your time,
Micah

Why reinvent the wheel? PHPlist

At least it will give you some ideas.

I've always outsourced my mailings to VerticalResponse. Easy and cheap.
