Hi John,

The best way to do this would be to

1. create a new module (see docs)
1.1 create a new persistent object with 1 field email_address
1.2 create a 'send mail' template with a text box for subject and a text box for content
1.3 post that form to your module
1.4 use the ezMail class to send the mail out to every person on your email list

bulk mailing features are not yet integrated into ezPublish so you'll have to do it yourself :-(

Regards,
Willie

I have the same need: A mechanism to distribute an email to a group of users.

Can not find any good instructions on this in the forum.

Could anyone outline more what most be done to implement this. (I am not an expert on modules etc....).

Have seen this - but I do not understand how to configure it...

I have a special class. When I create a object here I want to send en email to a special group of users.

Do you know how I can configure the mailing list to do that?

Best regards,
Øivind
