Newsletter with PHP

is it safe?

[globay]

I would like to send a newsletter to the users of my service. Their names and email addresses are saved in a database.

Is it save, to use a php script to send these newsletters to each of them, or are there good scripts available?

Thanks

there are plenty of php scripts available that will do a good job. if you wish i can stickymail the one i use which is free but not as feature rich as some of the paid versions. it might do the job for you depending on your requirements.

benihana,

thanks for your reply. I would write the script myself, but i was thinking if it is save at all to do that.

Do i have to consider something special? Until now, I have used php mail only to welcome messages, after signing up etc.

Thanks

i have very limited knowledge of php - im really speaking as a user of this particular script - it meets all my requirements and is free, but you'd really have to check it out for yourself to see if its suitable.

Put the script in a password protected directory and you are fine. You can write it yourself.

OK, thanks! That's what I am going to do!
