ClubMailerPHP |
THE PROBLEM ------------ I needed a simple program to automatically send an email reminder to members of our Amateur Radio club every month. The club meets on the third Thursday of every month and I wanted to send email (or two) to all members a few days before each meeting. This is a simple chore which is easily forgotten... I downloaded and tested several mail managers looking for a solution to my problem. What I found were a bunch of nice, bloated, programs that did a load of crap that I cared nothing about but still would not send an automatic email with the timing parameters I needed. Then I ran across OpenNewsletter-1.1. This was a sleek, small, simple little mailer with a basic web interface. It was perfect except for one thing, it still would not do an automatic timed email. The thing is, I liked it so much I decided to write an add-on for it to do my specific job. ClubMailerPHP is my solution to this problem. It is written in PHP and designed to run as a web based chron (cron) job. It can be used with OpenNewsletter-1.1 or as a standalone script. I decided to release it as a GNU - General Public License open source application and place it on SourceForge.net ==================================================================== ClubMailerPHP can be downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clubmailerphp/ OpenNewsletter-1.1 is also available at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opennewsletter/ |
