E-Mail List
Electronic mail lists that are hosted on a web site have some major advantages
over sending email from an Outlook or other workstation-based email program.
PHPList is a great solution for those sending emails to larger groups - or to those with more than one small group. PHPList is best for announcement lists. You go to a web page, login and then compose and send your email from with in web site space. Delayed message sending, a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor to make your email newsletters look great.
- you can send to your list from anywhere with an internet connection (not tied to one workstation)
- automated, timed sending of messages (server is online 24x7)
- software upgrades for the mailing list are taken care of for you
- no way for members of your list to get email addresses of others on the list
- automated "cleaning" of your list - removing emails that no longer work
