PHP mailing list

Post by nhan »

Is there a way PHP can capture mails (im not sure if its the right term) from a mailing list then administrators will approve the said email before broadcasting it to the members of the mailing list. Or is there a software that is built already to do that function? we are using postfix. Thanks!

Please, give us some more details becuase as far as I get it from your post you have a system with users who need to be sent messages but before the message reaches its destionation user it is supposed to had been checked by the system administrator. If I am right why do not you create a simple message system which has nothing to do with E-mails but just a few queries from and to users and a field with a value true or false to define whether a message has been check.

If you need to do it with E-mails it is accomplishable but harder.

i guess its really hard as what i have thought... yes this has something to do with emails...

i have already created a mailing list named... group@domain.com, that mail has members and before the email would be sent to recipients the adminsitrator would check and verifiy the content, i have seen somethings where there is a moderator, and the moderator will just click a button that will allow that mail to be sent to the members of the mailing list...

is there any work around on this... thanks for your reply...

Why not make a form for the email, and the email is stored in a database field. Then the administrator has a script that shows the email to him, where he can click a button to send email, or a button to edit the email, or reject it.

(is this a separate piece of software you're using for the mailing, or are you using php?)
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.
