Hi.

- I have searched the Internet for a "system" for making email-newsletter/campaign and for sending those to many emailadresses and have the posibility to add images from my HD to the message body, but I have not find what I am looking for.

- My friend have a existing webpage/site ( http://www.safarimgm.com ) where he wish to have a link where you can subscribe/unsubscribe to the email-newsletters.

- The existing Site supports PHP and MySQL.

- Or is there some "systems"/CMS that includes a email-newsletter "system" and where you can just use and install the email-newsletter module?

SwiftMailer may be of interest. It's an emailing library, so you can technically use it for just about anything therein.

Building an opt-in/opt-out system isn't too difficult either. You can either maintain a separate list of addresses to send information to, or use an existing table if the subscription is only available to say existing members.

For a separate aggregate, it's simply a table with an email address stored in it, and possibly some preferences (such as HTML email and/or plain-text.)

Campaigns isn't all that much more difficult either. You simply need to associate a stored email with the campaign they've been sent or some fashion thereof.

I use phplist for mass mailing.

Good ease of use and it has tons of features like import export in Excel Format / Scheduling / HTML/text format / Templating system / test before sending / RSS / opt-in and out etc...

(and it's opensource)
