Hello, I just subscribed to this list to ask the following question. Is there any plan to develop a newsletter PEAR package (MAIL_Newsletter). Roughly I'm looking for some basic newsletter distribution functionality. I know there are tons of out of the box maillist scripts. But they all include their own admin pages and security stuff. I just want to add some basic functionality to my website and wrap LiveUser security functionality around it. I can think of a package with 3 classes. - Subscription Management which offers methods such as subscribe confirm_subscription unsubscribe confirm_unsubscription (or a general confirm method) - Subscriber Management which offers methods such as getSubscriber(s) setSubscriber deleteSubscriber - Newsletter Management which offers methods such as sendNewsletter getArchivedNewsletters get/set/deleteNewsletter Well I guess you understand what I'm looking for. Off course this can heavily rely on other PEAR packages such as DB (for subscriber and archived newsletter storage), Mail_Queue, Mail_MIME and probably some others. Is this something that can be put in a PEAR package or is it against PEAR concepts?? Of course I could try and program this myself, but I don't think I'm the right person because: - I don't have enough time - My php skills aren't good enough I guess Anyone feeling urged to develop a thing like this?? Otherwise I progran something myself for my website and eventually rewrite it into a PEAR package proposal. regards, Tim
