creating email list

Is there a plugin that will grab the emails from my registered users to use for a mailing list?
or how best to go about sending a daily email of the link/titles of our last 10 articles.
That operation is a simple copy / paste.
Sure would be neat to have something that would generate thumbnails for the last 10 articles too!
Thanx Rj

Hi!
No, Serendipity does not have a mailinglist plugin. Mailinglists should be kept in things like Mailman or other dedicated softwares; PHP is not really built to deal with sending larger quantities of mails in a request.
Once you setup an external malinglist you can add a htm nugget to display the mailing list register form, and simply use the Mail entry plugin and mail to the address of your mailing list.

Garvin

Thanx. I have been forced into a dedicated server and it looks like I can to a mailing list from there.

Hello,
A related question: does serendipity integrate with either phplist or mailman? I mean, is there any 3rd-party plugins to do that? Many thanks

Depends on what you want to do? Mailman simply needs a HTML form for un/subscription that you can simply copy&paste inside a serendipity HTML nugget plugin.
