Does a newsletter / mailing-list plugin exist ?

Post by machiavel008 »

Hello!
I wonder if there is a way to have a newsletter or a mailing-list, linked to the content of my website, which I made with Serendipity in order I could send all the new content of the website every two weeks or something like that. I am looking for something that can be done automatically and if possible, without to copy/past all my new posts into another module of mailing-list...
I tryed to find such a plugin within Serendipity but could not find it...

Any idea ?

Many thanks!

Hi!

That's what RSS feeds are meant for!

There are services like Feedburner which can turn an RSS feed into a newsletter, I believe.

Sending newsletters via PHP is IMHO not a good way, which is why there are no plugins for that to s9y.

Yes, feedburner is able to do that. Blog Alert (http://www.shootthebreeze.net/blogalert/) does it, too.

@Garvin: I once believed in RSS feeds as well, until I read http://putthingsoff.com/ditch-the-digital-itch/
