Plugin Name

With this plugin you can maintain a simple mailing list and send html e-mails to people in this list straight from your own server. People can sign up to your list and a confirmation e-mail is supported for that. The plugin supports 'batches' so if your hosting provider limits the number of e-mails you can send in a certain amount of time you can split your sending up. Users can subscribe from the front-end. Just add the string [ifsmailersignupbox] in any post or a div with id "frontendaddemail" in any post or theme area: <div id="frontendaddemail"></div> to add the subscription form. A confirmation e-mail is being sent to the person signing up to verify the e-mail address. Users can unsubscribe with the the unsubscribe feature.

The IFS mailinglist plugin doesn't require any specific installation. Just unpack the zip file, upload the files to the plugins folder and activate the plugin. Easiest way to include the signup box is to include it with the string [ifsmailersignupbox] in the content. For advanced use like in your theme just add a div with id "frontendaddemail" in your theme. For sending e-mails just set the configuration options first like your e-mail address that will be used as the 'To' and 'From' addresses (E-mails are sent with the BCC option). Technical: you can create a constant _DO_NOT_USE_WP_MAIL to use the standard php mail function to get bounced messages return. This may not work on all hosting servers.
